An increase in rpm will mean more power as long as the air/fuel mix and valve train can keep up. Prop speed (among other things) limits rpm on piston engines. There are some geared engines (TGIO-520 in Cessna 421 and others, this one is also turbocharged) which redline at 3200 rpm if memory serves. Most similar engines redline around 2700 rpm.
