On a related topic, what would be the rev limit for a 385 series with a similar setup - properly profiled hydraulic roller cam, light but strong rocker arms, etc.? Other critical components (e.g. titanium retainers)?
I would expect the same and it's more than likely easier to get to that result. Studded rocker arms are generally more stable than shaft mounted rockers and there are lots of rockers to choose from for the 385 series.

Biggest help is the cam lobe shape, correct spring pressures, and light as possible valves.
