Yeah, I was mainly writing about close to stock motors, and speeds that people would actually go. You'd have to be retarded to go that fast on a public road.....

they do make them for the Lt's. and its no problem to hit 180 with a heads and cam, nitrous, or any power adder for that matter. i know most people on this site have that so i think our cars or worthy of something over 155; even if your car gets 160 its still more than 155 so y wouldn't you want to be able to read it correctly and not try to guess what your doing. i would never hit that on a road that there is traffic on but on long stretch of road with no cars on it or a 3 lane highway with minimal traffic than def. i have hit 155+ many of times on open roads
Good driving man.

no, i mean the fastest I have been is around 144mph, and its just kinda pointless to go any faster, i am not trying to debate this, just stating point of view....I would still buy one of those if I did not already have my Macewen overlays....200 is NOT a realistic speed is all i was trying to get at....

i ownestly dont care that it says 200 just as long as i can read my speed above 155. i was pretty stupid of GM to stick a 155 in a car that can do over that stock

I had one of the very first 200 mph clusters from granatelli motorsports and it worked GREAT! I had my ws6 well past 165 
Muhahahaha! I was told the speedo was reading 185 but i wasnt really even paying attention cause at that speed you really need to watch the road .. so i didnt even care. I think i might have some footage where was pegged on the stock speedo though.

I am curious about something, do the gauges still have the red glow or can you put colored bulbs in to change colors with those? I know the factory gauge overlay for a Pontiac has a red film on it preventing color changing without going to a Camaro cluster.
