Yes. Redline and limiter are both lower due to the extra stroke, resulting higher piston speed and bearing stress. Same thing happenef when the upped the displacement on the S2000 as it lost 600 rpms in the process.

I believe the 4.0 RS redline is still 8500. Peak power is at 8250.
3.8 RS redline also 8500, peak power (450hp) at 7900 rpm.
Max torque (460Nm) is at 5750, up from 430Nm in the 3.8 at a higher 6750 rpm.
The car is 10kg lighter, 11% more power, 7% more torque.
Same gearing.
Wider, stronger power band, more "area under the curve."
