T'was stomping off a red light once. Didn't have time to look down and
check the tach, but POW!

No the engine didn't blows up. But the nice little engine cut-off did slam
in. Felt like I had hit a wall. Quickly clutched and WOT'ed in 2nd.

Have had the 2.2 inline 5 up to around 6200. LIttle past 1st red mark on
tach. But only hit the rev limiter once. I'm guessing around 6400 before
limiter cuts in???
