Guys

I have the following question(s).

What is the highest speed you attained after your V8 Conversion..and how confortable you felt about it? How does a 240 or 740 handle at higher speeds? What kind of improvements have you done to improve higher speed handling?

Since the speedometer goes up to 120mph...what happens after you exceed it's limit? I assume that any speed higher than 120 has a good chance of ruining the speedo.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Mike
