It's not _happy_ to redline in any orientation, but it will get there
eventually. 3000 rpm to 4000 rpm happens in the blink of an eye - 5000 rpm to
6000 rpm can take ten or fifteen seconds on the flat.
I just rechecked the microfiche, and it recommends a voltage check at the
pump. Scott sent me a comment about relocating the relay a while back, so I
might investigate that.
