Car randomly died doing 160+?? Weird thing happened yesterday, never did this before and the only difference was the A/C was on.. I was with a friend in the car and went past the peg of 160, i'm thinking around 170 for how long it was rising. All a sudden the car just dies, and I rolled to a stop to start the car and everything was fine.. Any ideas what the hell happened or what the reason of it is? Thanks

the air condition cuts off past 5500 RPM's so its not that. I found that one out on one of the dyno days here. It was hot as **** and the guy dynoning it put the AC on to back it in and forgot to turn it off. I was always told the AC gets shut off at 5500 but never saw it happen. I saw a jump in the HP/TQ curve- was kind of interesting.
About the car dying- you didn't throw a belt I take it. I have no idea, but like others said don't do it with someone else in the car.
