I still stand by the fact that going over the stock limiter couple pose problems for actual usage.
8,600 is fine. 10K different story. Nearing 9300 is suicide.

I think you'd get valve float @ 9,500 but there's no question as to the strength of the motor. It has very beefy double valve springs too.
