9714 RPM
So at the track I pulled the money shift. 3rd to 2nd. I'm GoPro showed my G2X RPM at 9714. I do have supertech TI retainers and double valve springs on an AP2.
What would you do? Pull valve cover and inspect, compression check, leak down or just grab a beer and forget it? No CEL or idle issue.
I drove home and probably will inspect this weekend but looking for opinions.

Pull the valve cover with a beer in my hand and say yep looks good to me
But seriously, that's why you invested in the upgraded equipment. I may be mistaken but aren't you rated to about 11k rpm now?

that is the point where oem retainers can crack, you likely are fine with your equipment, I would do a cursory inspection of the retainers which is pretty simple, everything else should be fine.

Seems like a good time to prove you parts.
You are barely over what it takes to split an ap1 retainer. I'd imagine your "upgraded" setup was designed to protect at a much higher margin than 14 rpm.
So if it were me, it is surely worth a trained look to be sure things are holding up well.
Keep in mind, it can take 30k miles for a broken ap1 retainer to reach it's limit. So failure modes on your current parts may or may not be determined.
Pulling the cover is easy, and a check now and another at 10k additional miles couldn't hurt.
It is great to hear when parts are doing well...
