When i got to 125mph it felt like it hugged the road more, also seemed like it got smoother as i increased speed. I need more road tho... time to head to Ohio!

161mph on an open highway. Then I popped one of my cheap rubber couplers from my intercooler. It's all fixed now with silicone couplers with the ends of the piping beaded. It felt so solid and smooth.

I try to stay under 80mph or my Carbon fiber hood looks like it starts moving up and down too much..

i topped out my last SC with a 1jz all the time though, but hell the speedcut was at what like 115?
