for the record, mine doesnt beep at 8500 either, I have tested this many times and never gotten a beep.
No biggie though, I am too busy holding onto the wheel to listen for a beep

I have noticed that if you avoid complete full throttle, the engine feels very natural. The secondaries kick in around 7k, and it hurls into the rev limiter. At full throttle throttle though, it struggles once the rpm gets high. Have fun. Dont forget the engine is only turning one-third the listed RPM -- you are just putting wear on the accessories (A/C, etc).
