So far I've hit 105 MPH indicated with about 1/3 of the throttle left. The speedo reads about 10% low ever since installing some white gauge faces and recalibrating the tach to read to 8,000. I have not had the nerve to find the flat out top speed yet. The engine just purrs between 85 and 95 mph. Brian Vanagon VX Syncro with 3.3L Subaru http://www.smallcar.com/vx.htm
