ITS A AUTO, I HAD IT OVERDRIVE, IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENGINE IS CUTTING BACK OR SOME THING. KIND OF FEELS LIKE IN A NEWER CAR WHEN YOU HIT THE GOVENOR THAT SMALL CUTOUT FOR A SECOND THEN BAM IT GOES

I have hit the rev limiter on my 87 2 times. People told me that it is set at like some outragious number like 10,000. But I hit it at about 6,000 because I wasnt watching my tach, and both times i was roasting them around a corner at wide open throttle and for sure I felt the engine die off for a second!

Try it with plenty more fuel in it. With many C4s when the tank reads 1/4 youre practically empty. You may be sucking up air when youre turning.
I always fill mine up once it starts dropping below half tank.
