Motor will be fine. I wouldn't worry about 7000 rpm on the VQ.

I'd worry about the tranny. The increased torque from the blower and increased high-rpm torque/HP is frying that thing. Get an ATF cooler ASAP if you don't already have one. And get the VB upgrade if you don't already have on also. Both will prolong the life of the tranny quite a bit. Cooler has no downsides to it, so I see no reason not to do it.

That happen to me a few times when I had the V2 blower on->

and I was hitting fuel cut. If I am correct fuel cut is around 6800rpm on the S/C. Have you ever hit it before?
