Don't they have rev limiters on them? Why are you spinning a V6 that high anyway, V6's don't typicaly make power up there.

You would think if they did have a rev limiter it would not go as high as he revs it. Maybe its his rods wanting to free themselves from the evil crankshaft.

Just because the tach says it'll do 8 grand dosent mean that it should. At any rate, a v6 is just about done making power at 5500 any way. Any higher than that and you're only hurtin the motor.
