A couple of weeks ago I think I over-revved my engine and floated the valves while I was doing a burn-out, ever since the it seems that the engine is a little sluggish and is'nt as responsive as it was before. Could doing what I did have bent a push rod or damaged a lifter?

have you checked compression since then?

you shoulda smacked the limiter w/o TOO much drama (people on here seem to do it somewhat often).

good luck.

I'd test my valve springs.
My ol ladys gt was droping off power when it shouldn't have been. At fist I thought I was sucking the fuel line dry. I installed a fix for that and same problem.

I desided to put in better springs and it gave the car it's pep back.
May just be worn parts.
