New WS6 redlining?mods?

hey i got an 01 ws6 a month or so ago. Ive gone past the red line twice and i wanted to know how bad that is for my car. Also i wanted to know of some cheep bolt ons to add a few more hp. The guy who had the car b4 me put a cutout on it and some suspension stuff but i dont think he's done much to teh engine.
thanks

Going past the redline on any car is generally not good. On the LS1, you will most likely bend the pushrods when you over-rev it if you haven't already. Be careful.
