High, sustained rpms like say where you're at 6k RPMs for 5 minutes straight. Yes, you're more likely to melt the headers and over heat the engine but if you're moving at a decent speed to keep the air flowing then it's fine (think NASCAR). But that is still going to cause issues to the rotating/ moving parts.

And you're comment about rev limiter helping with missed shifts is kinda correct. If you downshift too early or go from 3rd to 2nd when you meant to go to 4th, the rev limiter won't help.
