So I am supposed to put a higher chip in and take a chance of over-reving the motor and breaking it????

First no race motor has an EXACT redline, just where it stops making power. Yes if you are hitting the chip it is illegal. Now there is no way for NHRA to police and / or prove that you are doing it for that far down track. I have raced a few people that do hit the high chip. (being faster car) You are making up no ground between each other, then you make a huge move late. Kinda screws you up. But YES illegal
