Yes, fuel would be cut off. Shouldn't damage the engine. May damage your ego if you do it in front of your friends.

you have to go a lil past redline, 9200 i believe it was for fuel cutoff, so yeah you would get a fuel cutoff, may be embarassed, but it saved you possibly thousands of dollars of damage if it happenes

Well, it saves you from blowin't the motor, but you shouldn't make it a habit of riding the rev limiter.
