So you're telling me a modern Gen III or IV small block V8 cannot be revved to 6,000 rpm? What's the redline on the new Vettes...6.5 or 7K? I'd have no problem spinning one to 6,000 rpm now and then...apparently you're well-versed in modern engine design. I've got the shift points on my Lightning, with a supercharged 5.4L and just about the longest stroke on a production motor, at 5,800 rpm with no issues.
You'll run into valve float issues long before you 'blow up an angine'.
And there is no computer safety cutoff feature that does what is described...they'll have a built-in rev limiter but nothing that will cause an engine to break-up throughout the rev range to protect against spinning to a 'stratospheric' 6,000 rpm.
