about 125mph, the day I hit the 1200 mile breakin point.... could have gone faster but that was fast enough. Could definitely do better now, since getting the works kit installed....

Since Ryan (redmini) - resident search function maven - seems to be asleep at the wheel on this one, I thought I'd point out the numerous other threads on this subject...

This one

Or this one

Or even this one from like last week.
