Either you have the fuel to support the airflow at the given engine load…or you don’t. You can accomplish the same thing with correctly sized DI fueling. Yes, port can spray over a longer injection window…but that doesn’t mean higher mechanical engine RPM capability. I can rev higher than you even though I’m DI only…because my valve train is setup for it (and have the fueling to support it…barely lol).

You shouldn’t push the RPM much higher until you upgrade the valve train. And even then, you’ll want to data log where you shift, where you end up after the shift, and residence time in each RPM range. Then you can maximize your acceleration by fine tuning your shift points.
