We have an 8000hp diesel at work that revs at 980rpm.. It pushes 5 million lbs 20 miles an hour.
Ps, revving quicker would mean it's more responsive, not that it's a higher max rpm. You can achieve this by shortening a stroke and boring the cylinder. The reciprocating mass would be the same, so effectively you've made it more responsive, and kept the same tq. (mostly)
