If it carries on revving after the needle has stopped, you're getting on for 9,000 rpm, which is about where the limit of the standard rods is.
I'd be worried about 8.5k regularly on standard rods, even though they are quite strong.

its a good job it only revs to 6500rpm atm and tops out at 110mph
dont have a cover on my clocks, so thought id just put them forward for a laugh, can put a full tank of petrol in doesnt last long tho
standard management + cams + throttle bodies = dog shit
no faster with the cams in, gonna up the fp to 4 bar tomo
and wont rev for a few minutes after starting hot or cold
and keeps triping fuel pump relay out, up a live from the ecu to relay instead of earth, have to probe it with an earth with abit of wire iv got
think its caused by a straining fuel pump

need management, think iv hit the limit of what it can handle tbh
and you cant floor it under 3krpm, it just bogs down
and EML comes on under full throttlw, air flow out of tolerances
off to scrappies for a vauxhall 1.8/2.0 coil pack, and soilder another coil pack plug on
then hopefully will work
getting pissed of with this car

too much time, blood and money spent on it to do that
not giving up just yet, once managements on, thats it, well untill the different engine is dropped in

cams wont improve things really until its mapped, will probably be a big reason why it bogs down.
wish you had bought a full TB kit off me with management and base map which would have been a plug and play jobbie now?

dave - if i had the money i would.... and its all a learning curve anyway
it just better be worth it in the end
Had the megasquirt running to day, crank signal was barley reading, then fluctuating madly, found the fault to be inside the ECU, had to adjust the potentiometers.
flicked the key and it started, checked timing with stobe light, adjusted, and idled perfect but go to rev it and the crank signal drops to 0 then picks back up, so cant get to rev, hopefully theres an easy cure
