Stock 1600 dual port with merged header and J-tubes. Stock carburetor with a pertonix elctronic ignition and some solid copper core plug wires. Even with the oversized tires 205/70-15 the speedometer would read 89 mph (143 kph) with the valves floating. It took a really long road. LOL. The down side of the solid core wires was that if I revved it over 3,000 rpm the radio would cut out from eletrical interference.

hi
190kph and i got scared ive done this speed a few times last year but it started to get a little lose on me ive subsequently moved my battery and fitted a small chin spoiler will by spring have hopefully have fitted the 944 front roll bar as well thats sat in my celler .

what speed this will lead to im not sure ive also gone for a slightly larger overal rear tyre diameter next year with 205/55 16 should reduce my rev count a little . i think i will break the 200kph barrier anyway!thing is its fun getting up to that speed as well.

one thing for sure im doing no speed vmax challenges with my winter tyres on thats a fact! loads of fun in the snow mind!!!
