Is my car screwed up b/c of this, or would I have to let it redline above 8200 for the 30 secs for it to blow? I just need to be reassured, b./c the car ran fine on the way home, i just wanna know that i didnt do no engine damage to valves, pistonsa, anything of that sort. thanks
redlining to 8200 serves no purporse, its a mathamatical formula from peak output to dangerous output, you shouldn't shift over 7000 there is no reason except you sound like half an indy car.
