From the day Im doing the PI intake, I never really push it to the limit, so tonight I got frustray at work, after I get off, finish warm the car up, take it too high way, and shift at red line every gear, up to 120, car pull hard and sound good, any damage to the motor . Cant wait for complete PI swap ( wait until the motor blew up ).

don't speed when you're mad, speed when you weigh the outcomes and think of your surroundings - and be smart with your foot on the throttle.


God im getting old

do pi cams too, the intake and pi cams were the best think i ever did, not really expensive, you could do it for about 100-125$

I doubt you did any damage to the motor, unless your oil level was low and/or if you were bouncing off the rev limiter constantly. Our engines can take quite a beating..

7K on a 2V Well gives a good reason for a 4V swap

When you miss a shift you overpower the rev limiter.
So for instance, if you were free revving your engine in neutral, the rev limiter would keep you from over revving. But the limiter can't save you from missed shifts.

I rev my 2V to 7,000 right now on the stock shortblock. Been revving it to 6,500 for over a year without any trouble. Without a power adder the shortblock will take it fine, it's the valvetrain that has trouble keeping up. I have the Comp high-load valve springs and they keep everything in place nicely.

i broke my transmission in my 351w 82, due to anger. i never shifted as hard, due to the amount of power over the tranny rating... first and second gear, signed my name on the pavement "jonathan" .. power shifted into third, and blew 3rd into shrapnel, breaking 2nd and 4th with it. bad day instantly turned hilarious. i had just picked up another transmission the day before as a "just incase" insurance policy.

learned my lesson = never have more than one tranny for a car. one will break instantly! wait, i think my logic is flawed...
