Default 85-200 mph

no real reason to have it unless you build your car for TOP SPEED. anything faster then you can do in the quarter is unsafe for the street. so trying ot see what your car can do in topend over 140mph is very unsafe and pointless.

I got the 200 mph gage w/ gear, I think that it looks great, but it's a personal preference. mine hits 170, so I'm close, plus when people get in my car there like"200, no way" and I just say "yeah, your right,...but lets see how close we can get"!</P>


Like I said, personal preference, mine is a white face gage and looks good.</P><edited><editID>steeda1982</editID><editDate>37964.8475578704</editDate></edited>

Unless you build it for road courses. Not everybody likes drag racing. Mine will do 140 pretty near pegged out in 4th, so I'd like more range on my speedo

Not that I'm taking it out anytime soon - it needs way better brakes.
