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.

 I had an old '75 Ford Country Squire wagon with a 460 4 bbl, I stomped it to pass a dump truck on the highway, and the throttle return springs broke.
Got stuck planted on the floor with the secondaries open, passed a state trooper going about 75 and accelerating hard. Showed him what happened, got a ticket for mech defect.
