seriously, who cares how fast you can get up to. I think its kinda dumb to be driving that fast on the highway anyways. The goal should be more how quickly can you get to a speed. And they are right, no point in trying to make a 420a fast

Jon, I 110% agree with you. The answer is more like "Who cares how fast you top out at, when in any type of normal circumstance (not to mention even in racing) you will never reach your max speed. The question almost should always be how QUICK can I get there? by there you should mean something closer to 80 or 90 mph. A speed that is logical to use (on interstates and such)." In short, EWgearhead, you should spend your time and money making your car QUICK, not fast.

I think you are right at the built in speed limit for the ecu. Just work on getting there faster, preferably with a GST or GSX.

Now see im kinda both ways on this subject, I completely agree 100% about its better to see how quick you can get to a speed rather than top speed, BUT im a speeding kinda guy and i love the feeling of going fast and weaving in and out of cars and all that ****, i know what alot of people will say to me about this, "Do you like the feeling of losing your license because of it?" and the answer is no, but i try to be smart when i do speed. So thats my opinion.
