Default WTF is wikipedia talking about

"A freerer air intake was given, and a higher red line was given able to reach 7000 rpm.The computer was revised allowing the engine to produce higher amounts of power and torque.There are 15 cars sold with this package which was a dealer deal.The only way to know which cars were with this packages is at the dyno.It was able to reach 0-60 mph in 4.9 sec in the hands of daily drivers, and 4.5 sec in the hands of professional drivers on cars that had the manual six-speed."

Before I try to delete it from wiki I wan to make sure it's BS.

wikipedia is not written by experts or even professionals, you can not quote or site wikipedia on college papers or real life. No surprise

Wonder if it's talking about these cars I saw in the Alignment Specs book today for ONLY 95 and 96 models equipped with Goodyear Eagle RSA tires... The specs between those 95-96 cars and the rest of the 93-02 cars were quite different...

BUT, we can all agree that no LT1 got a 7K RPM rev limiter, so that pretty much seals that lil bit of info's fate!
