if you knew that it was okay to hit rev limiter a couple of times and if you knew that you were going to get stupid responses for a question that's been answered many times. Why did you post? [LOL]

The engine is balanced to 10,000rpm and the value train can handle 8,500rpm without a problem. The only thing you are doing by hitting the rev limiter is killing your gas mileage. However, hitting the rev limiter on all your shifts will definitely reduce your engine life.
