Thanks, cLyDe. The reason I'm asking is that an acquaintance is updating his 
book about the death of James Dean. Most people think that Dean went through 
downtown Bakersfield before turning west on Hwy. 466 to reach Hwy.101 to get to 
Salinas and the races that day in 1957. There was s shortcut turnoff a few 
miles south of Bakersfield that allowed you to bypass the city entirely, which 
I used on my way to and from school in San Jose many times. It was a 2 lane 
blacktop that you could drive at 100 mph with no sweat with no stop signs, 
signals that you would encounter driving through Bakersfield. I think that if 
Dean had a high (lower) rev limit, and to save his clutch, he probably used the 
shortcut turnoff. The only people who would know are Dean, his mechanic, Lance 
Reventlow, and Bruce Kessler. Lance and Bruce were driving up to the races in 
Lance's Gullwing Coupe, and they met the 550 Spyder for cokes at a place called 
Blackwells Corner on 466. 20 minutes later, James Dean w
 as dead. All the others were killed later, with the exception of Kessler. I 
don't know whether he's still alive. Alas, there is a reason That I want to 
know.

Does anybody out there know the minimum rpms that were recommended for the 
4-cam 
1956 1500cc Porsche Spyder with a 6200 rpm redline? I had a 1963 Porsche coupe 
that had a Super engine with a Hurth roller-bearing crank, solid rods with two 
big 2-throat Solex carbs on it that had a 2,000 minimum rpm limit. TIA.
 
Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba
