Its seems like you should do over 75? Are you sure you are getting full throttle? I would check your linkage.

Well, once you do the spring and the pump, it will do wonders. Is it a auto?

I beat a 6.uh oh on the street from a stop. He was straight piped and if they came with silencer rings, it was MIA. By the time I hit 3rd, he was just past my front bumper. He even did a power brake getting the turbo spooled. When I hit 5th @ 65, he was reading my liscence plate. At 80 mph, I gave a few victory puffs. Made my day and killed his.

Hey if I could find a good place to run mine straight out Id do it...check my sig ...I need my 4" downpipe as my egts slow me down a bit in overdrive, then we can run it all we want. Ive had it to 95 but it took me a couple steps into the throttle as I had to let out when I saw 1300.

Why wait for the spring? Go out there and turn some screws.
