Truck didn't really move, no tires spun, but I zinged that sucker to 9000rpm faster then sh*t! Motor lasted another 5,000 or so miles before blowing up. Don't be me.

This thread brought back some great memories...I did "the lurch" too. It helped me learn about floating valves as a rev limiter! Lol
