Interesting Demon, how does the load on the engine factor into the equation? I don't know for sure but would't the engine give out revving 7K in the driveway because of no load?

No load would be easier on the engine because there is... yep... No load on it.

Now under no load the engine will spin up faster and thus hitting the rev limiter will overspeed the engine further.

I've hit 7k with no load when testing the rev limiter. While I definitely would not recommend this as common practice the engine will not self destruct.
