He doesn't specify what crank he's running, but I would not be surprised if it wasn't a P200 Bell, so 110 rod, 60mm stroke, which is what Rob Hodge put me on to when I first decided to go crazy with my BGM build and other than the part where the big end came apart a little and blew things up, it's been really solid.
Yes it's a 60 stroke 110 rod. Not sure what he was using prior to this one, but this looks very nice. It's a also a VMC prototype from my understanding. He's saying that he's getting 11,000 out of the current setup. Impressive.
You need to look back through his FB page but he's moved the case bolt that's at the front of the reed opening on the LML cases, and opened up a path. Obviously a big job but means even with a full circle crank he has unobstructed gas flow to the cylinder. Don't know how much this adds to his hp figure but it surely can't hurt. Pretty sure he did this before Malossi brought out their case that has the same feature.
I also have the same crank as you in my BGM motor CM, and it's a really nice thing to ride. Probably need to raise the exhaust a touch for a few more revs.
