Even if you buy long rods, I don't think it would be long enough to improve on that.

The 1.5ratio that the 4g64 or the 2.3 combo is pretty bad to deal with already..
I have no doubt when supplied with sufficient airflow, a 2.6 would reach 9k and beyond, the key issue would be increased wear.

I have for the life of me been trying to provide real life examples of an engine with a 1.4 R/S ratio reaching beyond 9k. It would be nice to stir in some supporting evidence.

turbotalon1g, that list really does not support nor deny Andrew's bold proclamation since none of them on the list are in fact reving to 9000 RPM, nor have a 1.4 R/S angle.
