I got my first banshee before I had a drivers license and lived 8 miles from town. During the summer I would make the trip 2 or 3 times a week. there was one part along the way that has a 5 mile section of straight road with some pretty good hills. Ran it the whole way WFO even down the hills. This went on for a couple of summers without as much as a top end. Not every trip was wide open but more than once I was running late and gave it no mercy lol. Now this was a bone stock machine even had the snorkel tube on with a 15 38 gearing. I am not saying that running like that is just fine and you wont have problems in fact I would advise against it . I am just sharing some real life experience.
