Once I had 600 miles on my Yager I wound it out to 9500 RPM and saw 76 MPH. Only did it once and doubt I'll do it again. I do cruise on I-95 at 65 MPH, 8000 RPM.

Sounds like you're right on the edge of redlining the tach. I've topped off at about 63 on the Ben Frank bridge at about 7000. Haven't had an opportunity to really open her up yet.

Isn't the Yager rev-limited, I thought WOT was not a problem with these. Haven't had mine that high yet since I'm just now getting close to 600, but it will be nice to know for the future.
