The problem is that we are already spinning the motor at 7800 rpms in 4th gear on stock internals. i was thinking about short shifting into 5th at about 6800 rpms and see if i can see 150 mph trap speeds in 5th gear.

On a side note, now that I don't own my car any longer, I feel better about making public trap speed predictions with it's current GT35's.

I'm predicting Brad will hit 152 mph in that car.

Congrats on the sale! I am sure the new owner is extremely excited about his new acquisition! Can't wait to see those 150 mph+ trap speeds!

DK996TT, you just need to use slightly taller tires, no other changes.

Brad, congrats on your purchase.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I must be trying to follow in your footsteps Jean. I managed a 147.5 this weekend, taking it easy on her for now. Will make one 150+ run on c16 with the new 35 turbos then she goes out to pasture for a life of ease.
