well, top speed depends on clutch slip, air drag, and hp. The more power you make the faster you will go at the same rpm, in 4th and 5th gear. I was at 7k in 5th and had 165mph on a gps. So I figure I could get 175-180 at 7500 if the clutch holds up, which was slipping a little at that speed. Who is the cracker that clicked 180? And the guy that did 188mph(claimed) only had "400hp" and 8500 rev limit.

Not me, I voted for my old dsm's, had to make the pole unbias.
John, I think you mean, the more power you make, the further you can get in the rpm band in top gear.
