let's not forget I've had my 304 to over 5,000RPM... not to maintain speed,
but to drag race a Camaro... I took my foot out of it after I hit 115mph and
decided that it *might* not be a good thing for my 55k mile motor... (I did
the math *later*, so I didn't *know* I was quite so far beyond redline)
