BP/PP rotary powerband? What parts can exeed 10,500 RPM?

What is the redline when you have a 12a PP or BP?

I checked for parts on the racingbeat website, but at the clutches page it says that you cannot exeed 10,500 RPM. What if your powerband is like 10.000-11.000 RPM?

What parts do you need to get 12k RPM or higher? Can you give me websites+prices? Do you need other rotors and another eccentric shaft?

You generally can't exceed 10.500 without a lot of work anyway... the E-shaft can start to flex at that speed and allow the rotor corners to contact the side housings. Not a good thing. Lightening everything helps, but what is really needed is a third E-shaft bearing in the middle of the engine.

You should be able to get 300hp from a 12A PP without having to rev beyond 10,500. The higher you rev, the shorter the engine lasts - would you be willing to cut an already-short engine life in half for an additional 30 hp?

What would the powerband be with a 12a PP? And what would the powerband be with a 12a BP?
