Valve float?! Really?! 140-160

I was in third by then, I shifted at about 50-54mph, somewhere in the upper 5krpm range. You all will see this video... No worries. It's gonna be a GOOD one, and will get distributed around the world for years to come because it will be THAT cool. Hahah, we'll see. I need to do a 360 around the car clip, an exhaust clip, and I'm thinking I'll toss on the 185/70s that are on the wagon's 14" Coronas for a burnout clip... I don't think I'll do any tailout action in this video though. Just straight line stuff and an intake and exhaust clip to go along with it mainly. It'll be good.

And I was listening to what we've got so far, and you CAN hear the valves floating, or whatever it is. Sounds like a fuel cut or exactly like a modern day rev limiter actually.(Edit:Just wanted to stress that it SOUNDED like one, the engine kept on accelerating though, just not as hard as it was) And I don't know why my valve springs would be weak... Wierd stuff indeed.

I'll send you an email with what I've got for the video so far, because I like showing it off already, even in it's half done, not really edited state... =D
