I have one of those as well..

I'm happy with it - I've combined with dial rings, needle cups and white el-dials.

Actually that reminds me, I floored mine while taking off yesterday and she redlined, dont know if it went up to the full or what but the engine gave a few hisses, but the thing is, isnt the gear supposed to change up automatically if you red-line? And yes its automatic before anyone says it has to be on automatic.

If the engine isn't warmed up, it'll hit the limiter sooner. did you take it into the MIVEC zone?

She wasnt cold, I warmed her, I always do, for 5 mins before taking off, plus this was no noise off a 6000 gear change! I saw the needle slipping down under the 8000 and that was after changing up.
