No way i reckon.

Thats true, i don't condone hooning but some people can be REAL edgy when they see a red "P" hanging on the window which calls for a full inspection on your car. I'm waiting excitedly too.

No way i reckon. im pretty sure it only goes up to 99, because it stayed on 99 from 2500 to 5000rpm when it should be updating every second lol. im guessing it actually did about 120/130 Back to top 67RCE Fordmods - Getting Side Ways Age:20 Posts: 1243 Joined: 30 May 2005 Location: BrisVegas QLD, Australia View User Gallery (0) Posted: Wed Apr 02, 2008 1:33 am    Post subject: Daymoe wrote: fiftyone wrote: Daymoe wrote: Also this is an i6 engine yeah?

Remembering this is a plugged up (stock filter and zorst) motor I assume that's a reasonable guess.
