by the way does the speedo barry itself or does it bounce?
It seems to stop, maybe it would go farther if it could go faster? It does go beyond the 145 mark though

pin the needle below 140 for a mile or so and hit reset on the computer to see what your top speeds is ...[&:]

A lot easier to have a radar gun and an officer that won't write a ticket.

The car can do 150mph stock. There's no reason why you couldn't hit 160mph with just an intake/tune and 4.10s. When the Vortech HO kit came out in 2005, their car claimed 192mph with ~550 crank bhp.

I got up to 145 and backed off because of hood vibration. It was still pulling.
