it will cut the timing and fuel but the cars forward momentum will force it slightly over the redline .

anyway, no damage is done, most likely,

^ I've had the car sit at like almost 8k rpms (dct) because I missed the 1-2 shift. Idk why it did but I clicked the upshift paddle maybe I was a split second late and the car just sat in first gear for a few seconds between 7.7-7.8 rpms then upshifted. Thought I was gonna blow my engine or something. It was one of the first times I actually hooked in first gear because it was hot out so I didn't expect the car to get to the top of first gear that fast lol.

I’d strongly recommend you tear down the entire car. Bolt, nut or screw not one left undone until it’s completely disassembled. Even and including exterior mods. They are likely all affected.

It pops crazy because computer let go the gas when rev reached limit for many time before you really let go the gas
