Default new top speed

well yesterday i was heading home down the highway and had my GPS on and remember it read your MPH and obviously its very accurate. looked around and no 1 was near me for a long time. i was already doin 80 when i dropped it to 4th and let her rip. it hit a 140 very quick and it just kept pulling. at 7k rpms in 4th gear i topped out at 155 so i shifted to 5th. still pulled decent but i had to let off at 161 mph because a car ahead of me got into my lane. i mite of been goin a little faster cuz it seemed like the gps had about a 3 second delay in reading mph. for those who dont know i have 3.31 gears and my rev limiter set to 7k and my speed limiter turned off. i know its pretty accurate because on the dyno in 4th gear at like 6700 rpms it showed a 150 mph

Dang man, you're nuts. I was messing around w/my one friend (he has a 91 5.0)...I hit 130 and shut her down cuz it was too fast.
