why do you want to do this? What advantage do you think you are going to gain?

Many rotary engines can be made to rev that high, but the intake often can not keep up with with it

There generally is no reason to rev that high unless you are using the motor in aircraft.

At those speeds the entire rotating assembly would have to be custom ballanced, the harmonics created otherwise would destroy the engine very quickly. With the money and engineering envolved, the risk to reward ratio doesn't seem worth it to me.
