84 w/1.9, no K&N filter, no SS exhaust system...

reading 91 MPH actual 82 MPH on the flat. It don't need to go any faster
than that. The brakes won't stop you if anything happens. The van won't
protect you if something breaks. Generally I keep it at reading of 80MPH
actual 72MPH.

tim in san jose where we usually go 30-35 MPH
