I think we will now see a bit more of this, in future XT projects...I'm showing you this as it is the same camshaft as yours Kris, but a different spec. But look at where the max power is, compared to where the Standard XT rev limiter comes in at 7200.

STAGE 2 HOTCAM VS. STAGE 3 HOTCAM..just a different build. (Raptor 700 with 12:1 CP Piston, Stock Valves+timing+throttle body, cylinder milled .050"

I wouldn't want to run that high a compression, and it probably wouldn't work on petrol pump fuel....but it is a very cheap mod to do, relatively speaking of course. We know that the Hotcams do need a piston of around 11:1-11.5:1......and that is something that would be perrrrrfect in a XT.
