On a related note, it looks like there is a little light at the end of the tach. Does that come on when you've hit the rev limiter or something? I back off before I hit any red markings. I'm not that bad.

You are doing just fine Blinkwatt. Just make sure the car is up to temp. I take it to 7,200 rpm (near redline in mine) at least once every drive usually. If you aren't excersizing the engine you aren't driving the car like it was meant to be.

Kelly, I'ved banged the rev limiter a few times and no light comes on just a slight jerk forward because of the fuel shutoff. These engines weren't designed with Sunday drives to church in mind just in case anybody was wondering.
