86 corvette questions

Alrigt my dad and I are currently argueing about his 86 corvette. I told him it has a rev limiter and he doesn't think it does. Also, he thinks it will rev all the way to 10k! I told him he was crazy and your valves would float big time. Now I have no solid proof of this so if somebody could point me in the right direction it would be very appreciated.

I'm pretty sure the 86s don't have rev limiters . Good luck buying a new engine by trying to rev it to 10K, the TPI motors don't breath too well over 4500 rpms (compared to an LT1).

Re: 86 corvette questions

you could probably push the gas pedal to the floor in neutral and it wouldn;t blow for a while
maybe see 6,ooo rpm to 7 max

hydraulic lifters are for that reason
they will collapse at 6k and then maybe you might hit a valve or two when they hang up
