So what do you guys plan on using when you want to work with the fuel or ignition mapping? I was planning on using a Megasquirt once I design my cams and find a way to adjust the mechanical timing. This is my first bike, so my thinking is based on what I'd do on a car engine, so let me know if a Megasquirt doesn't make sense for a bike engine, or if there's a simpler alternative for such an engine. I am not interested in running a piggyback for various reasons. However, any and all opinions will be appreciated. Thanks!

You won't make any more power at that RPM, if you're curious. That's probably way past the efficiency of the camshafts. To make any power at those RPMs, you'll need a cam with higher duration and/or lift and/or overlap. Once adjustable cam sprockets are released, then it will make sense to raise the RPM.
Most definitely, yes. The bottom end should be able to take atleast another 1000 rpm without any significant modifications.
Anything beyond that and you will need to find ways to reduce friction, weight and fasten the rod cap properly. If the stock ones are adjustable, a lot of fun is to be had right from the moment the bike is riden out of the showroom
