I did that the other day. It actually does work well. After doing it the car revved much better and the exhaust didn't smell as bad. I was holding it at 50-55 in second gear for about 30sec-1min. Hehehe [HR][/HR]
Eh? Try Bradford tuning, hold it at 90 in 4th gear for about 50 miles

it works eh? lol good god.. hmm what do u think... my reverse is chipped ... hehe i wonder if mine can handle that p.s how fast is 55 mph in km'/ exactly? almost 100?
p.s what does it exactly do, second at high revving speeds?

Well I have a 16v so it has a higher redline with a 2y tranny. That's were it's close to hitting the limiter but not bouncing off of it. So it varies for everyone else depening their redline and tranny. But I've always heard to hold it right before the redline or fuel cutoff. Not bouncing off the fuel cutoff!!!

Re: how to clean off the carbon from pistons without head removal (Tbird Pimpistik)
actually for top speed you only need to redline it in 5th.

Technically I think most of our engines accel best in the midband, so that's where you'd want to use the other gears.
Me, I just think it's fun to rev the engine out.

ROFL you kidding? I value my tranny more than I value what I could gain in terms of street creds when going up against 79 beaters.
