Oh, I know the tach has some overshoot on it, like if you upshift fast and it swings down a bit too far and bounces back up, but I'm sure this hit 7 grand. It didn't sound like an engine, it was more of a mournful howl. And there was absolutely no tach bounce: for the split second I saw it (I'm sure it was 1.5sec or less, but it's weird how it seems like it's in slow-mo when you remember it) it was pinned. The next thing I remember is thinking "Shit, it's cooked now!" as I really, really quickly upshifted. Then a sense of disbelief; then I remembered the ricer and punched it again and wheeeeee! I had the A/C on full blast so it was a bit noisy and all the windows were shut, but I can't imagine what it would have sounded like to the ricer, whose windows were down. I've got the factory upgrade tuned exhaust, think it would sound weird? In all, I'm a bit amazed that it survived and thankful for your insight.
