Whats the point of redlining? Max hp drops off precipitously after 6.5k rpm and max torque is around 4.5k rpm, so shifting around 6k will keep you well within the power band.
Don't get me wrong, I'll get the revs past 6k when doing full throttle accelerations, but I haven't hit the rev limiter yet, don't see the need. I adjust the rpm to the amount of load on the engine, low load (part throttle), lower rpms. Full throttle, high rpms.
