I have seen people miss a shift

some end up bending valves while others did not. I missed a speed shift 1 time and ended up hitting well over 8K rpms and got no damage. I also saw someone go from 3rd to 2nd gear at the drags and he also did not get any damage.

Nope no proof. Just what I've heard about float begining in the upper 7's.

Like Mike said below . .some folks have reved into the 8's withut damage and others .. not so lucky.
