If that is true then your engine builder did you no favours. I see this all
the time - overkill on valve spring pressures that end up putting
unnecessary premature wear on the valve train. If your engine has a power
peak at 5500
then 6-6200 is all you need to 'spring' it to, although some sort of RPM
limiter can be nice - not much of an issue for you, as the valves should just
float without hitting anything.

I was told she could handle 7000 revs but never really found any
advantage going much over 5500 - it was only the odd error that would
see the needle bounce that far past the old redline.
