had mine to about 175 indicated also. I need my *** kicked for that too. There is no reason the car needs to go that fast if not on a track or you're attempting to break the speed record for the FD class or something at Bonneville.
It's kinda scary at that speed.
If you are seriously gonna try to break 200 mph.... do some serious investment in some real aerodynamic work. (watch the racing beat video from about 1994-5)

well for a long run like that the temps prolly got too high and it detonated. with the stock turbos, i'm not sure you can put enough cooling in the car to keep the oil water and intake air temps from getting too hot after a long run like that

Talking about the video where the guy flips going 215? It looked like God himself had lifted that thing it was so easily tossed.
