What the heck are you talking about Tom? Unless this is a total POS 385 series engine (and aside from the quadrajunk it sounds pretty nice) 6k or even 7k rpm isn't going to detonate the thing. If this were true how the heck did we get along all those years without rev limiters? I still remember the first time I had the $$ to put into an MSD 7al on my last Boss 302 back in the 90s. Yeah I didn't watch the tach bounce off of 8k rpm anymore but I never fatally over-reved it before then either and those puppies wrap up so much faster than a BB it's not even funny. And you other guys that jumped on that bandwagon; you mean to tell me that you guys have never driven a hi performance car without a rev-limiter? I was under the impression that most of us were on the "elder" side and would have had this experience already. I know Tom is on the eld side.............wink, wink.
