Sounds like a fun car, for sure. I wouldn't have expected that DCOE 40s would provide enough fuel for such speed but I'm not a Weber expert. Then again, I have a single DCOE 45, and my Volvo goes pretty well with it.

I don't rev mine to 7500, ever. It has stock rods. Peened and polished, but still stock.

A number of people have asserted that their NA Volvos are faster than my 122 but none has ever proven so. Ten years ago, that mattered to me. Today, not so much.
I've never known its top speed and dynoed it only when running a low - 4psi - boost level, while it also had a leaking manifold gasket. Still pretty good numbers, I thought.

My interest in a 130mph capable PV that's streetable and runs on pump gas is based on my current 444 rework project. I have what I think is a pretty solid plan for each of the two engines for it but am always interested in input from others.

Thanks,
