They are governed to 3600 I believe. Honestly, I have never need more from my Onans, and the BG/MS that is in the SS18 is an absolute power house. I think you would be fine with 3600 but thats just me.
Heres an idea, lets say you have a 3" drive pulley (not sure what it is for sure) bump it up 1/2"-1" then run the gov. to 4k. then you get the same speed as stock, but higher rpms
Oh yeah.. smaller on the engine! My bad.
