Default got my engine back

so i got my engine back finally,well anyways it gave me crap for a day then all was good.
first my engine was overheating so i took my thermostat out it did good for a while then bang!
my top radiater hose blew off! so i put it back on went home loaded it with coolent and water then it did fine and has been ever since.
then a day later my starter started to act up and now i need a new starter!
but good news is before the starter was freakin out i got to race a 04 honda haha stupid vtec didnt stand a chance! hahaha
well anyways this might sound really wierd but i swear on the bible i was going 106mph in second gear when i raced him! i know i was like wtf???? i didnt believe it at first but shurr enough got on the highway did it again i was wondering what in gods name kind of gearing can do that? and i was at 5500 rpm and it doesnt take very long to get there haha
so let me know what you guys think it is thanks.

The speedometer might say that, but that does not make it so.
