I had 135mph, and it was still pulling; but I could sdd I wasn't going to reach further than 145mph at the rate it was going. I'm gonna have a DeltaChip by September <IMG src=smileys/smiley8.gif border="0"></P>

My 135mph was reached while still in 4th. I was a little over 5k, so I still had a little left. Like I said, 145 is possible if given enough road. Personally, I do care a lot about top speed. Some people say that it's not used that often, but well...they don't drive w/me <IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0">. I probably hit at a minimum 154mph twice a week w/the bike. Yesterday, I nailed 168mph. I've been up to 179mph on the Gixxer, so I have to get my Mustang modified to push somewhere in the last 1/4 of my speedo...W/O nitrous, or S/C's for now. <edited><editID>GSXRIntensity</editID><editDate>37795.0882638889</editDate></edited>

It does have its advantages. If you change the gears or the tire size it will adjust the speedo for you. I have a '00 so I dont know if your cars speedo is computer controlled or not. The power program did feel like it added a few more horses but I dont think that it was worth the amount I paid for mine. If you do get it from ebay, make sure that the previous owner has restored the programmer to its original program. Otherwise it will do nothing. If you go to Hypertech.com, you can read all about it and find out more than I have said here.</P>

i'm not concerned with my top end as much as i am re tuning it for the mods it has. not like my gears will get me much faster anyways. i'm under the impression that bolt on mods like i have need a re-tuned computer to get the best results?
