Very true Glen, and yes you do have to spend money the larger you go, but there are engines out there with 5 1/4 inch strokes or more that spin to 8000 rpm.
For example: John Kaase Racing Engines.

As others have said, if you have a choice, go for a milder package with more cubes, much better combination.
