Ok, very odd question. I was sitting at the stoplight today, showing off the new exhaust....basically being rev-happy. Everybody has suffered from this, so don't get all huffy please. Well, i revved, revved somemore, and then let it tap the rev-limiter. When the car tapped the limiter, the car actually rolled forward while i had the clutch all the way to the floor. Very scary. No driving problems have arissen yet, so it isn't a heartattack question here, but some info would be awsome!
Also, does MSD offer an ignition box for the 4g63 n/t motor?
And....what is the best possible road to travel down to make me not worry about overrevving and floating a valve on a missed shift, or making a fool of myself revving to kingdom come? I beat on this car a lot, its plenty torquey, and i want it to last. What do yall think i should do?
 
sweet! LOL, i thought about both of those issues.....It seems like the engine does torque more than its supposed to in the mounts, and i ordered the little bushing kit thing off ebay for that. The little inserts. And the clutch is what i think it actually is. it was a pull, not just a roll. Ive changed to syncromesh, and ordered the new bearings for the shifter arms on the tranny, the only thing i havent done is adjust the clutch rod. Im thinking about replacing the slave cylinder anyways. Thanks for the answers so far!!!
