to the original poster, you cracked me up as well with the second half of the story, where he tries to put it into 4th and goes into 2nd again

If I was you, you should at least make sure the engine is holding compression.
This happened to me a long a$$ time ago when I had an AP1. Two weeks later the car was struggling to go 40 Then all my mods voided my warranty... I wanted to beat my friends a$$ too. I made him pay half of 2g instead tho...

Your valvetrain is probably damaged. Piston tops might be too. At the very least pull the head and inspect the aftermath.
After the first mis-shift overrev your friend tries it again and misses for a second time? That's funny, but what's more funny is when you tell him to pay for it.

I consider this the best thread in a wring forum for a long time 
) I don't even mind there are no pix, because just imagining droping it into 2nd @ 90 is crazy..doing it twise is locco

Yeah, I never let my friends drive my cars, and if I ever did I certainly wouldn't let them race someone. Call me selfish, but I'd rather be a selfish person with a working valvetrain than the cool friend out of a couple grand to replace parts I didn't break.
