And to the threadstarter, I don't think that you're engine will be completly fried at 7100 RPMs, but you might be in for some serious $$$

I wanna know how you came up with this magic number you THINK you were hitting of 7100?
You can sit there ALL day long with the gas pedla floored and it will not hit 7100RPMS. It will just bounce off the rev limiter. That is not going to hurt anything in the short run. I am sure after a few hours it might not be good tho.
The only way to hit 7100 roms is to be cruising in say 3rd gear at redline and downshift to 2nd.

Yep. Time it right, and the transmission will be spinning at the same speed of the engine. It is not really smart though, because it's practically impossible to get it perfect, and as such wears your synchros really badly.
