you gotta love the sound of an engine performed to run at 8000, AT 8000 rpm. Speaking of overrevving, my first car was a 79 cutlass, with a 4-barrell quadrajunk carb. I was at a stoplight when suddenly, the engine rocketed beyond points I never thought it could ever reach. After I shut the car down (it took seemingly about 10 seconds, also) and towed it away, the problem was a sticky accelerator pump. I have no clue what rpm it actually reached, because the car didn't have a tach. But I was amazed it survived, since that tired of chevy 305 had about 330,XXX miles on it at the time.
