Default Bouncing off limiter

A couple of nights ago racing my mate down the m3 in his startlet turbo i had my s2 rst bouncing off the limiter in 5th
btw i passed him like he was at a standstill while he was bouncing off his restricted to 120mph limiter lol
How fast would i have been going ? also is there anyway of getting more speed out of it like raising the limiter ??? as it felt like it could go faster

With 17's and 205/40 tyres and a standard S2 gearbox equates to approximately 152mph

Hey mate just over 6k

Do you think i could have a different gearbox ? (the box has got an lsd which makes me think its standard) as i didnt think it was capible of those speeds with the spec as follows

Stage 2 1600 cvh engine with ported + polished head
Low comp mahle pistons
Stage 3 T34 hybrid turbo
-31 Actuator
Ahmed bayjoo fully mapable chipped ecu running 20psi
Full Mongoose stainless steel exhaust system
Custom ram air induction kit
Uprated bigger intercooler
Full samcos


It was at 2am though and my act temps were about 20'c max booting it lol
