Keep cruising at 8k rpm and you 'll be buying a new RT sooner than not...but hey! its the way of crouch-rocketeers' culture. If its good for your ego to rev that high, it could not be that bad for the bike--as the logic goes.
With a booster your cruising is around 3500-3800. The engine runs easy and strainless on a flat road. Particularly in 4th and 5th gear. Mine cruises the easiest at close to 38 on sixth gear doing around 74 mph (which is when I got a ticket).
Without the booster your engine runs dry to meet EPA standards. But then, without a booster you have more money to buy several beers and YOU are not dry. So it may be a personal choice of dryness preference.
If you care to note, feel the pegs under you; they are a good indicator. When there is the least amount of vibration on your feet, your engine rpm is at a balance point with the torque needed to go at that speed--not pulling and not dragging...check the tach then....if it is at 8K write me back, it might persuade me to change my driving habits.
