I hope you don't kill yourself. When you start going that fast its easy to lose control, somebody pulls out in front of you or air gets trapped underneath it.. :blam: If you want to go fast, build a Bonneville Salt Flats car..Rollcage, Larger Brakes etc..sorry for sounding like an old man.

i had a nice 350 in my Abody monte 3.08 gear 275/50/15 that got me to 175 at about 4500rpm

Kph maybe. Mph is only 113 with that combo, and that isn't taking into account for convertor slippage.

Not tryin to put it down but it's simple math, sorry. Next time make it a lil realistic.

Yeah, the only way that works out is if it was in an overdrive gear around .64:1. In a typical 1:1 gear that only works out to 112-113 mph.

I would say top speed is 120. Now can the engine reach that is another question.
ill be happy with 120-40 lol anywhere in between
 
I wouldn't believe anything without GPS verification. My 81 cutlass is 8 MPH off at 70mph. My 06 GMC is 3mph off at 80mph. The GPS agreed with the officer on the GMC case. All theses Hayes manual HP rating or what not. Is HP at the flywheel. So take that 190hp and minus 20 to 40 percent depend on transmission and slippage. And that's how much true HP to the wheels you have.
