I'm unsure you know what you're doing tbh, because you should know that a head is just a piece of metal, so asking if it can rev that high is simplistic - how high an engine can rev is down to the stroke of the engine, and as far as the head goes, the weight of its valve assembly and the strength of the springs etc. How many road going engines rev that high? 10k or more is reserved for bike and F1 engines.
