Topped out as in? Electronically governed or ran out of power to go faster? All of my copies of the original tune are showing no governed speed, and the 90-92 TPI stock tune I loaded shows 125mph, so the program is working right. Anyways, my friend has gone over 140 in his 94 Vette which is all stock except no cats. I've gone 130+ in my 91 Formula with a 350 TPI and 144K on the clock. SO That basically takes care of both possible questions lol

my firebird pulled around 180 with the mods listed in the sig on the old 350. probly a bad idea spinning a stock bottom end to 6700 because the connecting rod bearings failed like 2 days later. for the haters out there that say this isnt possible you do the math. http://golenengineservice.com/calc/calcmph.htm
6700rpm (indicated on factory tach), 25.7" tire, 2.73 rear, 1:1 trans (i was in 3rd)

Factory tachs are usually wrong.

I've taken it past where the speedo would read and decided that I probably didn't need to go much faster. But I would like to see what it would do. My suspension setup makes the car feel really unstable at speed, though.
