The spedo stops at 85 but the digital readout continues to 199. Last I
saw was 171 but by then I thought better I focus on the road. I asked
Julie to look but she had her eyes closed. (She always has her eyes
closed. 70 laps at Pahrumph and 69.5 of them with her eyes closed.)

My dad said he hit 180 and it scared the crapolah out of him going to
Palm Springs. 
I chastized him for his wreckelss speeding and took the keys away from
him for 2 weeks. (til the next autox. Hey man, he pays for the race
tires!) 

Id really like to know where it tops out at. It was still pulling when I
gently lifted out of the throttle. Factory sez 175 mph is top speed for
the 88. Weve got 40 more HP and 40 more TQ than stock. Dunno how this
equates to top end.
