I ran a modified 2.7 with a big cam and carbs to 8,000 routinely. Eventually the stock springs gave out - most of the inners (or outers, I forget) broke while on track and engine wouldn't pull...

Joe - I didn't invent this. I think I saw it on a VW or a description of one for the old 4 banger. I must have put in a disk or a washer with a small enough hole for it to work.
