I filled up with 109 as a safety precaution, Friday I ran boost at1.2 andmy best of 2 runs was a 183. Saturday I ran 1.4 and my best of 3 runs was 193 but I lifted trying to keep it at 190. I'm sure I can break 200 maybe 205 with a little practice. I was full weight with no aero mods.

Don't forget that our built-in OBD boost display can't show anything above 0.8 Bar, no matter what boost is actually generated.

I had forgotten - too much time looking at the factory 1.4 bar in the 7

My rev limiter is set at 7060rpm and the real GPS top speed there is about 196mph IIRC

Here was what Car magazine maxed a stock 408PS car at back in '97

speedo is wildly inaccurate at those speeds.
