i have i/h/e/p/venom400 but every now and then i get into some trouble with v6 cars on the highway. i want my shit to acclerate faster after 120. trying to figure ut what mod to do next. would a pro kit and konis make a diff??? i will be lower to the ground. .also im getting some 15lb 17"rims which are way lighter the stock. will that help? or should i give the jacobs ice packa try. 14% power gain or ur money back. so illl take them up on it. i mean that waoul be at least 180hp at the crank if not some mo. i rather wait till summer for rims and drop. so if u got a 2.2 or evena 2.3 and u been past 125 what mods u got? and how fast u get up to. cuz i know the 3.0s can max the speedo out

VXCL

just to clear things up i dotn drive that fast with traffic on the highway.

i wanna know too... there have been late nights at 3 in the morning when i have had the car pegged at 120 in 4th and it didnt wanna go anymore.

CLTypeR

I've had it a little past 125 w/ 5 passengers in the car. So i'm guessing it might go faster.

Yea i kno dumb. I won't do it again w/ that many people in there.

haiduc

you have CAI, headers, exahaust, springs and rims right? anything else to make it go that fast?

Repo1234

You should have gotten a 3.0!!!!! if you wanna go past 120

I Know ive hit 120 maney 125 im not sure and that was stock

CLTypeR

Why do u want to take it past 130 anyhow? Kinda pointless and dangerous?

haiduc

yeah... agreed on that one.... must be that need for speed.

but look at it this way.... no matter if you're going 120 of 130, if you get caught you're screwed anyway so whats the big difference?

im not flaming anyone just trying to make a general point.

f0de

a shot of nitrous will help that 12x speed barrier

I've had my car up to 140. No B.S. I was by myself on a 16 mile straight away. I took about 10 miles to get up there...lol full tank but once i was there it was supriseingly smooth.

VXCL

iim talkin about easily getting there. i hit 110 eay 120 ok then 120+ need more hp. one thing though oce u get there u can give it like no gas and it stays there. oh yeah i have an auto so i dont knwo how much faster i could go witht his tranny anyway. again i only do this when im basically alone on the road. liek monday i got into a little race with a reg 3000gt. he started pullin slightly after 120 , but his car is mad heavy and only got 200hp stock so im guessin with little mo power i coudl have been the one pullin

I've been 135 with a little play left but I was on a long straight road! I think the reason for your power loss is because of the auto!You don't have the option to leave it in 4th.

chiggacl68

i can take my car up to about 123-125 mph range fine...cuz thats in fourth gear...by the time i throw it in fifth like you around 125 for me...it takes forever to hit 128...i think its just that we have four bangers...we dont have extra two cylinders to push at high end

Kiljaedoen

i want a manual trany

JLai

Hummm....I always assumed the reason I couldn't push past 120 was because the car had a governor...

Can someone clarify on this?

haiduc

nah... i think the governor is at 140..... on the 2.2 it says something like 120 in fourth (5spd) and then 5th is even faster.
i've just never gotten past 120 because i either got off the gas or didnt have enough power.

JLai

Humm...well...I got an automatic, so that might be a difference.

My speedometer only goes to 140, I doubt the governor is set to the max speed. Plus, about losing HP after 120, my friend has a governor in his Z24...He passed me going 135 . He has some mods (exhaust and CAI), but I doubt my engine has less ass than his...thats why I think its a governor.

This might be different for the manual 2.2 or 2.3s, I dunno...

Mabey I'll get off my lazy butt and go try to find it in the owner's manual or somewhere...
