I don't think it is a fair assumption that because this engine currently peaks at 8100 or so means a shorter stroke build would do likewise.

I see no reason one could not take a 3.5 stroke or so with a 4.5 bore, a short valve v head such as Lynn's with the pushrod out of the port, move the cam lobes and lifter bores to straighten the angles and make power to 10k.
Would it make comparable power as a symmetrical port head? No, but to blankly say a tunnel port cannot make power past 9200 is not a good thing to publicly post. You may have to eat a cyber post.
