Last weekend I went on a road trip with our mini car club. We were on a good stretch of highway. So my instinct automatically told me to step on the gas. And to my surprise it took me from 80 to 160kph in an instant. But from there on it was already peaking. It made it till 227kph. And that was it... It couldn't get any faster.
Is there still a way it can run more than 227kph? I've already replaced the intake & exhaust. Do I need to place anything more to make it run faster?...
What do you guys think?

Furthermore, they must be limited to not go faster for safety reasons.
My observation is the torque/power curve is at peak at 4500 rpm and it is an engine that doesn't seem happy to run in the 5000 rpm as Japanese iron does.
I don't use the Sport mode so maybe I am missing something in my observation.
