I was clock this past summer on a race track doing 118 mph on the straight stretch. The pedal wasn't all the to the floor, but close.

Here in upstate New York the top speed is $175 with the court fees attached, dang they have no sence of humor.

That Stabil only works with the 4 barrell full open, OK, he didn't buy it either.

:ugh

Best I can do is 86 mph. That is with the needle wrapped around the 85 mph peg for one more mph on the speedometer.

I got 138 mph on a couple dyno pulls (estimated). The best I ever got on the road was +/- 130 mph. (I converted that silly 85mph speedo over some years ago). It's worth the money. But my '81 has full length headers, no emissions gear at all, K&N and true duals. 118-120 bone stock is probably not too far off.

Dang,the last time I checked it was called the Southern Tier of New York. If you can not get on the track at Watkins Glen there are numerous back roads around there to test your vehicle on. Growing up around there, I had to do my own version of the " Dukes of Hazzard" while tuning my stock cars.
