Better for the Highways thats for sure! I used to downshift to 4th to get better speeds but I can just leave it in 5th and it will still pick up. I use a stock clutch. I'll probably readjust the pedal here soon. I have 28k miles on my car so my clutch worn a little. It still feels good, just when its cold, second slips when going full throttle. It's at 7psi right now just a little over. But I haven't dyno'd the car since my 6psi. 28-32mpg, the way I drive(fast). Amazing what only 57whp more hp does to this car.

Yea, I'll try again when I feel like it. 110 was kind of disappointing. I had 3 others in the car too ;x

Did you happen to notice what your RPM's were at? I'm pretty sure you were near redline.

Yea because last I looked, at like 110, there wasnt much gear left. So 125 is our max no matter what because we have no more gears lol.

when i got up to 125 it didnt seem like i hit a governor or a rev limiter, it seemed like my car was sputtering because of lack of gas.

*shrugs I just know that our gears are really short. I haven't been able to take it that high yet. I don't know where the RPM stands at 125mph, but I'm sure it's quite close to 6k.
