That is very true, thanks for the insight. I figured I would ask anyway since the VQ serie engines are very stout and well engineered but each brand and type of engine is slightly different.
8,000 rpm sounds awesome on the dyno run!

That's a good point, 8,000 does sound extreme given the fact that the power of these engines still peak very high in the rev range.
