what do you mean something to justify that? i took the car out after adjusting the timing and it just reved fast as hell. as soon as it reved i let go though. changed the oil and all but everything held together ok.

On a stock, with external bolt ons, 93 coupe. Elec fan, underdrives, long tubes, cold air.
During daily, trying to conserve fuel, I try to keep it around 2 grand, 2500 tops. Often taking off in 2nd, then 4rth, then 5th.
Uphill, I always take off in 1st.
Spirited driving. My shift light is often lit. It's set at 4600 and when my tires are burning, the light is on.
At the track I shift at 4800rpm. Tried 5200rpm, because that's what felt good but my times suggested 4800 is faster.
First runs were 14.0@100 and by the end of the day I went 13.6@102mph.
