Default I'd like some help with interpreting these foxwell code readouts if possible

i hooked my 2009 porsche c2s up to a foxwell scanner and took some pics of the readouts i got. i'm not sure how to interpret some of the results and if anybody has some experience reading and interpreting codes, any help would be appreciated. I did try googling some of them, and that was helpful. other results not so much. for instance, one readout reads variocam plus not ok. another said number of ignitions at speed > maximum speed, range 6 had a value of 24. and the operating hours counter reading at overspeed, range 6, was 867.29 hours. also, i had a m120 misfire counter for every ignition, display a value of 65535.000. does any of these signal possible issues that could be ticking timebombs to come in the future?

You had a significant overrevs event at 867 hours that went all the way through range 6 with a lot in range 5 and range 6. This is a missed shift like 4th instead of 6th on the way up or grabbing 3rd instead of 5th where the momentum from the car forces the RPMs beyond the redline. How many total hours on the engine now?

You have a single misfire on cylinder 5 and what looks like a Variocam issue - could be a solenoid going bad or something else. If all of this has now occured right after the missed shift and overrev event, you may have a larger problem.
