just tested it out today. known: the stock van redline at 5500 rpm gives around 95 mph.

i upped it another thousand rpm and broke the triple digit barrier with the engine still accelerating hard in fourth to 6500 rpm (this is with my chevy-6 and an msd soft-touch rev-limiter)

i hope to go faster after i install the bullet train brakes the 928 v-8 and the g50 tranny.

peace, out. -sudhir Sudhir H. Desai desa4622@yahoo.com ICQ: 8255956 AOLim: rawsuds 1984 Vanagon Z34 1996 Jetta (soon to be race ready)
