Are you on some sort of chipped ecu? My p2p ecu has a limiter around 7200rpm so unless it was from a roll and he downshifted into first then I don't know how he could have gotten to 8k.

if your rev limiter is 8000, you shouldn't be in bad shape. Don't worry about it.
there's worse that's happen and they're still working good.

a rev limiter was invented, for teaching your cousin how to drive stick. If it wasn't there, there would be a problem.
Don't make it a common occurance and it shouldnt be a problem, but you really can only smach rev limiter so many times before your luck runs out.
