Re: doing cam research
I've read on quite a few websites that the governor is set at 124 MPH. I've hit 128 before but when you're at those high speeds the speedometer is probably off by a few MPH...
I can't find the site now, but I'm pretty sure it was a Hyundai related or Car and Driver type website that posted it.

Having done about 115 to 120 in my spider, I can attest that air is VERY hard at those speeds.
The problem with going faster in the auto.. while it's gearing is less "aggressive" it also has fewer gears.

Re: My new box :) *with pics* UPDATE!!!
I'm sure the speedo was off but back in 2001 I had my Tib up to 135mph. Now this was on a bit of a downhill but I was trying to keep up with a friend that was driving his 2000 Camaro SS... LOL I knew it was hopeless but it was fun to get my car goin that fast, and my friend was really impressed. He no longer made fun of my Tib!
