drove it today

I should have clarified, it did crank. It was as if I had no gas. I spoke with a couple of local mechanic friends and they said loose ground or ignition. All connections looked good.
I showed off a bit for my friend, an old Corvette and Porsche guy. He loved it and we really hit the rev limiter a few times. No problems today.
Now that the warranty is long gone, how much higher could I adjust the limiter and be safe? 6500, 6800? The reason I ask is because the motor is hitting her stride at 6200 (current limit), she's seems to have alot left. Any of you guys mess with the rev limiter?
Back to the original problem, are the Fireball ignitions good? My friend said they didn't have a good reputation quite a few years ago. Any suggestions?
Thanks, I really appreciate thr brotherhood!
