I installed 93 RX-7's twin turbos, it's a direct swap but I was only able to hit Mach 2 with that so then I realized that the exhaust bearings from the Chrysler's Crossfire and that helped me hit Mach 3.

Oh yeah, you'll never be able to hit those speeds on your car.
283 kph = 175.8 mph

wish I had a road somewhere that I could attempt to get that kinda speed without the fear of being arrested. Hit 100 and I haven't tried for more.

The 8 is drag limited to about 148 mph, if you want to go over then you must take the FI route.

I don't even know what revs I was at either the concentration levels seem to go up quite a bit when your doing them speeds one mistake and its gameover!
