[Need Help ] Newbie needs help, My friend Tweaked My car Options

[hioctane]

My friend tweaked my car too much.
I raced against an old legend and lost.......
So I asked my friend, if there is a cheap way to make my car go faster. He said yes if i tweak it.
I asked him if he can do it for me and he said yes. The first time he tweaked my car redlined at 6500.
Second time he tweaked my car it went even faster. Third time, my seems to be even louder, and doesn't feel as fast as before, and when i start my car, the rpm is at 2500rpm and the engine sounds alot louder.
My friend said that the manifold or whatever doesn't open all the way, so i tightened the wires to make it open all the way when i step on the gas pedal.

My car is an AUTOMATIC......where should the rpm for a celica st be at when starting with the shift knob on parking????
My my rpm at 2500 when starting, is that bad for the car?????

here's some pictures and quick video.

Here's a picture of the rpm gauge for people with 56k : http://www.geocities.com/snvisionary/IM000208.JPG

What would be the normal rpm when starting on your automatic 6gen celica st???????/
Would this ruin my car's engine in anyway??????
Does this actually increase my cars speed?????

I am very worried about my car.

Thanks IN adVANCE

ok, he can't change your redline. that's an ECU controlled thing, and unless he installed a piggyback computer, it's still where it was. sounds like he also turned your idle up, which is easy to fix. 2500 is too high for your idle RPM.

no, none of this increases your speed, it will just wear your engine faster, b/c of the high idle, it's not good to keep advancing the idle like that. my advice, go to the dealer, or a garage, have them fix the idle setting, and don't let your friend touch your car again.
