Running on a track for 20min at 4k is going to be a long 20 minutes, lol. Especially on a FR-S where you're in the torque dip....

Euhh, yes?!?
I did a lot of HPDE in my old RSX and was shifting 100-200 rpm before rev limiter, like almost everyone who is tracking their car is doing.
I haven't done any lapping yet in my BRZ, but I do a lot of autocross, and I often bump a couples of time on the rev limiter, because a shift to 3rd is not beneficial. All fast drivers will do that in autocross.

As for the OP, I don't see how an aftermarket warranty will be economically viable. You will surely end up paying the same amount of money an engine repair would cost you.
