No as I recall it read to 6,000 but I remember winding the thing up past the
6 more than once.

As a past sky diver driver, I used to dump them at 7200 out of a Cessna
182,
and touch down the same time they did. The process I used was to first
close the cowl flaps, close the throttle to 15" of mp.and roll into a
steep
bank. I didn't spin but I did have a tight spiral and typically saw the
VSI
go to numbers like 8,000fpm.

You had a VSI in a 182 that read up to 8000?
