I went about 170 when I was racing a ls1 on the highway. My brakes were warped after wards and I dont think I sped for a few days after that. Def. not safe or good But **** that was a rush

That sounds pretty sick, what were you pushing RPM wise? I've had mine up to 150ish in 5th before, but I didnt really like the thought of pushing that many RPMs. That was when the car only had CAI and exhaust. The reason for asking is I was just about to order my PCM Forless tune for the new setup and noticed you could have the Speed Limiter completely removed. I wasnt sure if there would really be an advantage in removing it or not since you cant really pull through 6th that easily?
I will say that I've had the new setup to 170, and it got there ALOT quicker than the LT1 did..
I'm putting in a T56 here soon, and 3.89's are going in the back..

I've hit top speed in my A4 383 which is about 185 says LPE. When they had their black 6-speed 94 Formula in a shootout they hit 192-193. John said they could have picked up another 5 mph maybe without side mirrors. My C5 will definitely hit over 200 its just a matter of doing it. The TA seems more stable at those speeds.

Depends on gearing my 80 formula had a built 400 and 4.56's fastest I ever went was 125ish.
My 97 has gone 155 with stock gears on a built engine... so... i don't know.

I had a Hotcam kit and some other things..A4 with 3.73's and it put down 335/335 to the Wheels. I managed to pull an estimated 165+mph out of a run one time..wouldn't try it again though.
I know with my new setup give me a M6 it would be ****** insane..150mph comes up really fast, and that's with the Auto..

It's not an F-body, but I hit 169mph really easy the other night. It was pulling really, really hard...but I ran out of gear if 5th (6,500 rpm) and didn't have the ***** to shift into 6th. I plan on trying it again (with GPS) in a couple of weeks.

I hope this motor is as well built as I think it is, cause I'm gonna treat it like I did my stock motor, like a dirty *****.

^^It held up to everything I gave it. It's Balanced, has Forged Rods/Pistons, Clevite Bearings, good strong Oil Pump.
It should be alrite, I would take it easy for a while though since it's been sitting..
I need to get my GF's GPS system in my Car when I get the T56 in it and see what it'll do..
