I didn't get whether or not you were the original owner of your 89.  If
you really can hit 8K, do you have an LPM?  I would say stay away from
running the engine that high or you will also be into a new clutch.  The
engine makes peak HP at 6200 RPM and shifting by 7K is usually good enough
if you have to make a point to someone.
