i also have 16 inch wheels, 3.9 diffs and a close ratio box so it would top out around 160 mph at 8000 rpm, it was mental at 469 bhp.
Only just spotted this, if engine is built to run over 700 hp and you run it at 600 hp then you've got a good safety margin mate, I'm doing the same really mines built to run 800-900 but running at 710 leaves a safety margin, not worth running right on the edge of grenadeing unless competitively racing imo, my gtr will only likely ever run full power when I'm at pod tbh except maybe for a few timed rolling pulls lol
