Float is marked by a drop-off in power and a peculiar "flat" exhaust note.
Been there, done that, whilst autocrossing a Formula Vee whose second gear I
could not find on downshifts. The owner told me to keep it in second and
let the valves float for the one short place on the course I should properly
have shifted up. I took second fastest for the day. The owner told me that
I was driving better than he, and that it was a good thing for him that I
couldn't shift his car properly.
Don't know about "bounce". Those babies were floating!
