1.the 292 would handel 5500 rpm if had all proper hipower parts (such as forged piston high performnce conecting rod etc)

2.
thay do not have 12 ports
thay have 6

one for each two cylinders
there is 12 port heads but thay are spendy and hard to find. whith twin turbos you would not need 12 ports

I wonce had the same idea about 250 six I picked the 250 becuse of the higher rpm and qicker revs
I have herd of 250 taking 7000 rpm whith out exploding allthou I would be the last one to try it
