I topped out around 107-108 @ between 6900-7000rpm

That is the best I have ever done in 3rd gear.

During the dyno runs I watched the speedo and my car tops out around ~110-113. Kind of hard to tell since I was outside while the tech ran the car.

I wonder if 110 is possible without a header?

How would headers make a difference? It's gear ratios that determine the speed, isn't it? And isn't the RPM 6900rpm? OK folks, fill me in...heh

I have seen a hair under 115mph on third with the limiter kicking in. Of course that is what the speedo dials. Real speed is probably 2-3mph less.

Yeah, 180 km astro.

And gearing along with drag does determine top speed. Headers will only help you to get to that top speed faster.
