Bill,
I know a guy back home with a 93 V8 Sport who's had his speedo
straight up and down with the tell-all end past 125. . . Oh, he was
getting up there about 6 months ago and had it around 115 and decided
to put his foot all the way to the floor (he was only giving it about
3/4 throttle at the time). Well, when he put his foot down it
downshifted into 2nd. . .tach shot past the 6000 redline mark about
an inch he said. He ended up driving it home the rest of the way on
only 4 cylinders because he bent pushrods to the other 4. It was all
repaired under warranty, though. Said it sounded like it had a BIG
cam in it when he screwed it up. Oh yeah, he had stock valvesprings
at this time, so I guess we can say that the stock springs will
protect half of your motor's valves from floating, huh?
