But, now I'm wondering how high people were revving in their SR's and to be more exact was it all up in the redline? (Need knowledge on SR revving capabilities)
The max anyone has revved an SR, i'm told, is 11k without breaking something. This supposedly includes the big name companies. Stock SR's start to fall apart above 8000RPM I think, when the rocker arms snap, hopefully shutting the valves preventing damage to the valve or piston. One person said that it was a built in "safety feature" on SR's, although I do know one person that over-revved his SR with a bad downshift and damaged his valves/ pistons before half the rocker arms broke (possibly from the valve piston contact).
