How much power are you putting down to achieve this speed? I remember Crazy Dane did a video and topped out his 7 too...Be safe out there.

Well you did about 8k rpm's in 5th gear.

Can anyone convert that to MPH?

Not doubting your speed, you def did 180 and a bit more cause rpms were still moving when the needle was on 180 but idk, wont the car be a bit unstable at that speed?

I mean one slight movement and that coulda been your ***.

Why is it every guy that posts a vid has to include some baggy azz jean wearing homey music that not only blows, but is also so loud you can't hear the car? I guess I'm getting old - all that music sounds the same to me. Ahhh, the days of Rush & Van Halen...where have all the good tunes gone?

I digress,....Dude, get your car properly tuned. 356 rwhp is what I had with stock twins @ 14 psi on a heat soaked motor? A properly set up T-78 is good for 450ish rwhp on pump gas.

Be careful on the top end, like someone said - one blown tire or mistake & you are likely DEAD.

Honestly, you shouldn't do it. There have been forum members here killed going a lot slower. These cars are tin cans and you get a blowout or hit a dip in the road etc and you're done. Just my 02.
