The dyno has a big analog-looking tach on the computer screen and I saw it go to 8600 rpm. Since I was just standing there and not busy shifting, it was easy to be precise in my reading. Of course, the operator simply pushes the pedal to the metal until the car hits its limiter.

Depending on the scale of the graph, it looks like 8500 or 8600 rpm. Seeing that variability of the graph, I'm sticking with my 8600 observed.
