stock tach slows down @high rpms too, so 7500 on the tach is more like 6900rpms....

I noticed that the stock tach is not very accurate, just driving around town, it seems sluggish to move. But are you sure its that off?
it prolly varies car to car

WHAT!?!?! The tach is off. I'm going to verify it with an aftermarket, and then compensate with my driving TRUE 7,500 RPM's here I come

so on a stock s4 you can rev the motor out to 7k safely? i have an intake thats it but never really push my car past 4.5rpms? would that hurt it ?
you're actually doing a disservice by not visiting the redline at least once in a while. a trip to redline helps get rid of damaging carbon deposits and keeps everything moving properly.
a redline a day keeps the mechanic away.
