^Mods aren't going to raise your top speed. The only thing that'll do that is a higher final drive.

I guess what i should have said was everything was as it was from factory =)

Final drive ratio is the axle shaft speed.

Taller tires will increase it too.... That is unless you are figuring out the overall ratio which would include tire size.

I could also increase the rev limiter so it will rev higher for more speed... That's a a mod that would also change it.

No mods other than cheap OBX header and straight exhaust back to a cheap magnaflow... the car did have a newer head mated to the original block...

hard to tell how fast i was really going... i'll try to resurrect the phone and snag the picture off it.

thats flippen rediculous, i would have to see it for myself though. im a seeing is beleving kind of person ha dont mean im gonna go out and do it though ha.

You're telling me these thing as if I didn't know them in the first place.

Also, try raising your rev limiter. $5.00 says you won't go any faster. Revving past peak output does nothing other than use excess fuel.

I'm sure you knew that, right??!?!?

^^^Raising the rev limiter will increase your top speed only if you use the Search rev limiter raiser with powerband noobulization.

Of course. Noobulizometer readings are always off the chart w/ the Search rev limiter.

wife and kid now, i'd never dothat off a strip.

O.K. I lied. Today my buddie took me for a ride in his stage two M3 BMW and well.......M3 Video by 50chevyless! - MySpace Video
http://vids.myspace.

The car goes 180 425hp but they cleared his stage two programming yesterday at BMW and he was trying it out with them on the phone(bluetooth). He was pretty pissed it would only hit 162mph. hes taking it in tomorrow.

Yes I do know that and way more tech then this the the kindergarden bs.

I figured you would know you would have the properly built engine to make use of the extra rpms capabilitys.

I'll try to add more details that so newbie's can understand too.

According to you....

BTW it is common practice to shift after peak power. Say your peak power is at 250 hp 6000 rpm and at 205 hp at 6400 rpm. If you lose 1000 rpm on the shift and you just reach 205 hp at 5400 rpm, that would be the proper shift points for that gear. This will change in other gears because the rpm drop is different. The goal is to shift so the engine stays in the part of the powerband that makes the most power...
