Exit to pull over, or exit to run?

I would figure that they couldn't keep up past 120+.

Figure out how wrong it is and go from there. I know mine is 200 rpm off and I want to shift at 5800 so I let it almost touch 6000.

Stock tach gets a little laggy in the high rpm range too so just remember that.

A lot of people over rev and the motors really not making any power to do so.

IMO the stock valve springs are **** and probably shouldn't be revved past 5800.

My car loves to be short shifted. I do the 1-2 at 5200 and it pulls like a train when I hit 2nd, drops right back in the power. Then I shift the rest at 57-5800.

YMMV

I have no idea how fast I can go, the needle is way past 155 though. The speedometer starts to get into a sword fight with the voltmeter. I'd guess ~170mph.
