"So even when these engines make peak power around 5800, it doesn't mean that they will not rev much higher than that w/o falling on their nose."

I agree, in some instances there is the potential. Nice to have a look at a dyno sheet.

During the second dyno session with my 505 we made a total of 14 dyno pulls. After after all was sorted out with best numbers it made peak power at 6000 rpm (660 hp) but the dyno operator stopped the pull at 6200 rpm where it indicated 646 hp. Down 14 hp.

On a earlier dyno pull it made peak power at 5900 rpm but on that pull the operator stopped at 6400 rpm, here it was down 17.2 hp. Making a dyno pull way beond the 6400 rpm would of been nonproductive.
