100kmh is 62mph
200kmh is 124-125mph
300kmh is about 187mph (jus over i think)

so, umm, lots, well over 170mph

Diffierence is that my 178mph run on my old engine was done on proper timing gear not speedo. Just a slight diffierence at that sort of speed.

Thanks - Sunny.

that converts to 177.1 mph indicated on the speedo.

That nova was only peaking 1.2 bar and holding 1 bar of boost. Is it possible to pull 177 mph top speed only producing 1 bar of boost?

Boost level dont matter a toss, depends what turbo, can 3000bhp at 1bar if you had the right engine n turbo

Sounds fast, but doubt the speedo is correct. Looks like a very short box.

EIL- long boxes sound short if you got the power to go thru them quick enough

boxes only sound long when you not got enough power

Look at the rev counter, drops maybe 1500rpm after 3rd and speedo accelerates faster than the rev counter
