The rev counter doesn't give a 100% true reading up that high anyway. Mine has been raised to 7200 and I never hit the limiter, I don't have the balls lol

it's really not a good idea to be revving the engine freely that high anyway, it needs load on it to be safely revved like that!

My limiter is at 7400rpm, and I frequently reach it  :evil:
