5k rpm?

no doubt... balancing the engine is the easy part... getting the psitons to handle the abuse is another... for a piston to stop,accelerate,stop, and accelerate at such a fast rate its likely the piston will accelerate and keep going while the rod is the only thing left traveling downward.

and for that class they might as well just put solid chunks of steel in the place of the spring... or is that what they do to start with?

you can turn 5k on stock pistons and rods, the max rmp of my 12 valve for now is only 4300 rpm and I go down the track arround 3700 - 3800. will soon be hitting 5k on the line and 4300-4500 is what I wanna turn goin down the track. My bottom end has 14mm studs and hd rod bolts, some say you don't need them but I think its better safe than sorry.
