	Honestly Kev, I twist my engine out to about 7Gs a couple of times a
day (way more when doing the weekend race thing).  The car pulls hard up
to the red (from 4000), but now that I think of it, this may be the
result of my cars' lack of cat and oxy sensor.  Any comments from the
Roc Gods?  Apparenty my car has a header on it, but it's rusted to sh*t,
and god knows what else might be wrong with it, but that engine is
basically stock and pulls like a mother!  Later.
