I'm sure your friend was racing when he blew his motors, explaining why he downshifted, and he probably wasn't familiar with the performance of his motor. I know at what RPM my engine runs ant what speed and in what gear, so if I do decide to downshift, I know what gear I can safely go into by what speed I am going.
