The 924 GTP, which could put down 420 hp and probably weighs quite a bit less than your car still only managed just shy of 180 mph.

Can we see your dyno charts you had done? You must still have those. I mean you had to have put the car on a dyno to get the 194hp number, right? What compression ratio? Where did you source your parts for the "bigger pistons and stuff". What bore and stroke? We would all like to get 194 hp for our n/a's. Help us out here please!

Wait did he say he's now approaching 200 mph... sorry I'm really not reading all of these very closely. It's so hard when I'm busy dropping the laptop from laughing my **** off :-)

I can vouch that my N/A does 156 (rev-limited), maybee more now, since I got the taller profile rear tires? My math says 167ish? Have to verify that number with a GPS someday...
