I rather doubt your TPI is exceeding 6000 rpm, and it sounds like your tachometer is reading very high.

don't just start replacing stuff until you've verified exactly what's wrong. Can you imagine a doctor replacing the stomach of a child with a tummy ache? Find someone who can test your tach. Or temporarily attach a known-good one.
