S1000RR engine for AMA Superbike team

[Run1Racing]

Hey all. I am helping an AMA Superbike team find an engine for VIR to replace one that blew up on them at Mid-Ohio. If you have ANY leads for an engine email me at monty.spears@run1racing.com

overrunning the redline maybe? if you downshift too many gears, rev limiter or no, you can physically with the rear wheel push the engine far past 14,000rpm.
