The maximum speed of this package is about 105 mph, and, that would really be pushing it based upon engine speed. Additionally, it is extremely unlikely that 125 hp would be sufficient to move the vehicle through the air at speeds over 100-105 mph, or thereabouts. |
You'd certainly come up against the IP's top end governor at 5400 rpm which is something like 105-110 mph.
