does the computer get screwwy if you bounce off the limiter???

cuz last night i ran someone and i spun till the top of 3rd(then i lifted) and i was hitting the limter the whole way and on the way home my car was cutting out like a madmaan and my moster tach neadle was bouncing all over the place..2nite when i drove it to work it was fine again?

i had a major cutting out problem b4 and i changed my plugs to a diffrent style/gap and it doesnt anymore..this feeling was alot worse..thanks in advanced

most likely a fouled plug was the culprit.
the rev-limiters on aftermarket ignitions cut spark to keep the rpm at the correct point. if you were mashing the pedal, raw fuel was getting sprayed all over the plugs, wetting one or more...

good luck!
