Ok so I need some peace of mind, I was on the highway the other day still getting used to my short shifter, and was going around 60-70mph, I was doing a short pull from third gear and I went to shift into forth And accidentally shifted into 2nd, the car revved of super quickly and made a huge backfire, i thought I blew something out it was so loud lol, but I put the clutch back in very quickly and didn't hear the motor even bounce of the limiter, I have a msd box with a 7000 rpm chip in it, although I don't believe that matters on a downshift like that, anyways long story short the back fire was so loud I thought something was broken, however the car runs fine and didn't miss a beat, should I be worried about there being any damage? The motor is mildly built with a cam afr heads and scorpion 1.6 roller rockers to name a few

If it runs fine and nothing is spewing about or dripping on the ground it's likely ok,
Just don't do that again!
