Holy sh!t! LOL! I saw this on DK.. story: couple of guys on DK bought a smashed up SR5 with a 4AC on it and decided to see what nitrous would do to it. 10,000rpm monster 4AC and it did a one minute and 20sec burnout. There are videos on DK so if you wanna see them go there.

Tach was DEEPLY buried into the 8k+rpm range, would free rev to almost 8k and then rev'd up at least another 1200+rpm once we opened the nitrous bottle. There was a few pops and snaps during the last run before the engine finally quit altogether and wouldnt fire back up. we checked the plugs and other than them looking a little lean they seemed fine, pretty sure the valvetrain gave up and no more compression
Well.. considering that a friend of the previous owner almost wrapped the front end around a pole making the car pretty much un-driveable.. yeah the car could've deserved better. Oh well its now donating parts to another AE86.
