Top Speed Run
Second Documented Attempt
Cluster is off 5-10 MPH more than it shows, Different tire size than factory (Shifts from first to second at 55 MPH instead of 45)

No, this isnt street racing. Was Performed on a very wide, extremely long closed road in the country side at night.
Third attempt will be after intercooling, new intake, N* tb, and new set of tires that are rated about 150.
Slightly upset with the accelration after 90-100, but with some more power and later down the road, lowering the car, should help.

Re: Top Speed Attempt
Along with the tires, a brake upgrade with fresh fluid and/or DOT 4 would add some additional safety.
Use some sort of recordable, high end, GPS verification like Dragy if you want something widely accepted as accurate.

Re: Top Speed Attempt
I have a App on my phone that bluetooth connects to a obII reader that grabs data off my PCM. It does log speed as well as all the fancy stuff. Torque something, I paid like 8 bucks to use it. Was gonna use that app plus a secondary camera attatched to a helmet to show not just my phone showing the speed but the entire dash and road.95naSTA wrote:

Brakes are fresh, so is fluid. Safety is my biggest concern.

Re: Top Speed Attempt
Torque is the same as your cluster, since it's reading the VSS. The reading is off from the factory and you say its off from that. What I suggested is what everyone verifies thier high speed runs with at sanctioned events, like the Texas mile etc. If you're looking to record something official, that's the route to go.
