With that pump (assuming you bought the pump from the DIY instructions) you'll be pumping the same volume of water at 3000 rpms as at redline. I can't imagine it would hurt the engine...
I have redlined mine plenty since install with no problems. I am running a 1.9 gph nozzle I believe, FYI. (Went small so that my 1 quart windshield washer container would last through a whole 20 minute track session.)

I guess I should redline 3rd gear and see what happens

I'm a mega-big fan of the science involved in this. I'll be switching to water injection very soon myself as I want to break 500rwhp on pump gas and street plugs sometime this year. I believe water or water/alcohol injection is the key.
Anybody have a chart handy that shows the differences in Specific Heat Index (heat absorption) for water, different fuels, alcohol, etc. as compared to air? That'd be handy.

wow 1.9, mine is 6.2 GPH. LOL. That was the small one too! I do have the pump from the instructions, but I have a 3 gallon tank that fits in my spare tire well perfectly.
Maybe it will get upgraded this winter when I am bored and want to work on the car...
