That can be a result as well. A lot depends on the clearances and some engines can take it better than others.
I just used the 1,000 rpm as a sort of place holder number. You could go over 1,000 or 10,000 a hundred times with no issue or you could blow things apart at 950 the first time you did it. It isn't an exact science.
I miss shifted a drag set up Pinto once. The engine survived fine, the tranny had some minor damage and the u-joints all but blew apart.
As far as the OP here goes he is fine.
