Surely 575bhp, would mean u are not hitting a limit of the power? 340bhp e46 m3 would do that speed.

Gear limit I believe, not sure if my engine has any more revs over standard, but people say the box I have means 167 is the most you get?

I don't know, since the last one with the long final drive broke, it sounds like it is struggling / really revving at 160 mph odd. I don't think there's another 20 mph in it if I kept my foot in for example.

The first box lasted 2 weeks or so max, so never got to really push it on taller gearing.

It get's there quick enough mind

When are you taking yours on track? I trust it will see a Ring trip soon?
