Hayes theme some is "Another one bited the dust." But I bet his alternator spins at over 13,000 rpm. And I think he ment that it would do 170kph..

I think that means he got a 13k tach... If the tach goes to 13k, that means the motor can too, right?

Doesn't your clutch and flywheel fall apart or is in danger of falling apart at 10K?

You just need everything balanced properly. However, past 9k it's a good idea to run a scatter shield so in case **** flies/breaks off, you don't lose any limbs.
