Default have a bet with someone..whats the fastest LS400 speed ever recorded?

There's a guy at my work who is betting that the first gen LS cannot go faster than 160. I swear I remember a post /review somewhere about the LS400 hitting 184 on the track (without the speed chip of course..)

Anyone know?

Looks like it. I had full inspection when I bought my car and the ECU was messed around with. I take it that there is no governer.

I have just posted all the pics that go with the tutorial on my site.

retro, I'm running latef ro work but are you going to buy the ECU? the fuel mixture one? If you are hold up and we can buy them together, just let me know and I'll figure out a way to get the money.

Thanks for posting the pics, that should help ALOT.

We should meet up sometime, or for sure at the CL meeting.
