142 mph Hiboost 3

[KING13]

Juan has done it again!!!

As it was requested by some members, I took a video of the car running all the way to 142 MPH. It could be more but it was too fast already.

I am sorry about the bumping, but the smooth road becomes very bumpy at those speeds.

You can see that the speed governor is eliminated with our kit.

This was done at the 7 psi boost level set for all kits.

Holy Sh*t

(wow)

I wish I could see my speedo all the way up there. Was the car smooth at that speed?

 

[mp5jeff]

you need more boost....took you way long to get up there =)

 

[Mikey444]

I've done that in a 4 cyl. Altima once, was kind of fun. But I would never do it again.

See if you can get a shot of the world whizzing by next time too.

So King, you have the kit on already? is that the 1st one stateside? Still trying to get a hold of Juan to see what the plans are for the 6...and maybe no gove for us as well!?!?

top speed doesnt do s*** for me, its how fast you get there that is important

 

[AbsoluteSwed]

exactly, how often are you ganna go 142, much rather have a sick 0-60, im alla bout the push into the seat

I participate in quite a few track days and though i don't think i'd hit that high, my 120 gov gets in the way a lot. obviously gettin there quicker would help, but not being able to pass someone on the main straight cause they can still go faster sucks when you're stuck behind them the rest of the track cause your faster in the turns.



I might have been wrong thinking the 3 had the same gove as the 6. if others are hitting 140 than maybe you guys just got a higher gov like the RX-8? anyone confirm that? sorry about bein naive on this

 

[M_3]

its cool and everything but it took you too long i say like i will never hit 140 in a car why when how

For serious speed junkies...

every year in the deserts of Nevada they sanction a public road race called the Silver state classic and they have certain classes of realistic speeds that most our street cars can endure for long periods of time. the 130 class would be a good class...the 200mph ones are prolly fun to either watch or look over the qualifying cars in the pits. (thought)

 

[SITHV6]

just looked it up to be sure....

Yes they still hold the event and the classes start from 90mph up to 165 in 5 mph increments...newbies can only participate in the 125mph class their first time out. it's addictive and it's definately on my "to do before i die" list! esp when i get the beast up and running! www.sscc.us is the link if anyone wants to peek at an opportunity to really see what all your hard work is capable of.(wrc) we cant let only the vettes and vipers have all the fun!

This was done just to show that the speed governor is eliminated. not that I drive like this everyday.
