Lets take into consideration who wrote the post,

Factory parts are not that refined in a stock 302. Yes take out the rev limiter and it will rev that high, then grenade.
I would not rev a stock 302 past 5200-5600. Anyone who says theyre revving to 8500 on stock parts is lying and wasting their time.
Who cares about a 16v motor, were talking about Randys 302. Its far too easy to change the subject and forget what were after here, the truth.
