Try pulling tyhe code even if the CEL is off, it may still be in there. A pop when you let off the gas is sometimes normal, it's probably just afterfire. If you rev it slowly in neutral can you hit redline? If you rev it fast the needle may be lagging and you're hitting the rev limiter before the needle catches up.

Ok, well I'm out of ideas. The bouncing speedo would indicate to me that you have an electrical problem somewhere. Maybe a bad ground? All cyls misfiring could also be an electrical issue. Other than that, I'm fresh out of ideas. Try the shop again if you can't find anything loose. Post up here what it was when you get it solved. I'm really curious.
