Yea I would think that is a slightly high idle. What would it be at when you are doing 120MPH down the highway? About 300,000 RPM? Thats one hell of an engine. I also think a 10k RPM would decrease your gas milage quite a bit. But I think you would NOT have to worry about stalling. Well maybe the red line sensor would cut it off.
