We installed a much more docile camshaft and he then loved to drive his car at normal speeds. The cam we used lost a tiny at redline and gained total driveability....
Mike,
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll take a look at a cam profile change. I don't relish the thought of cruising at 3000 or more rpm.
