Okay -
I had been driving for about 5 minutes-
an open road presented itself-
"should be warm enough by now for the high cams", thinks I-
1st gear, floor gas, launch! zoom!zoom!zoom!zoom!-
I'm about to hit the high cams! ... here it comes!
6k ....... then ..... RED LIGHT!
WHIR-CHUG! WHIR-CHUG!
Crap!
My car had given me the 'i'm not warm enough yet' high cam SMACKDOWN!
So...how do I know when it's ready??
Do I have to wait for it to get above ~170 degrees or so?

WHIR-CHUG (my impression of ~6.2k falling to 5.5k then surging back to 6.2k then falling again before I realize what was happening)
