...of course that being said I've done it too, albeit not in a MINI
My friend's Grand Am was like shifting a sponge.

In the UK most people who get their cars tuned have the limmiter bumped up to 7400rpm, that is where the stock head starts to loose power, and it is still perfectly safe.

This is exactly what happened to me, right down to looking around to see if anyone witnessed it.
I did this nearly 4 years ago - so far, no problems whatsoever.

Not sure what RPM it bounced to, as I was looking around to see if anyone saw me do it.
NO problems with engine or tranny since.
