thanks man..i will start working on the cams as its the easiest..atleast that big of an engine should have equal grunt..m not gonna race a harley but i shud have that power at my disposal..

can u suggest any cams if i want the power range in mid to high end rpms...as the initial power is good..it goes numb after 160-170 km/h in 5th gear

Never had a vehicle would peg the speedo. But I've only ever been to 152 mph. My legs chickened out at about 120 in my 68 Corvette. Once the steering goes light, I'm out. No deathwish here.

I've had cars that could peg the speedo, but that was back in the days of 85mph speedos.

I find it funny that people actually think that the speedo's top speed is the top speed for the car.

Haha, with some of the responses I had to check that I didn’t accidentally click on the touring forum.

Got a speeding ticket driving my mom's car through Nevada, it had an 85mph speedo, cop said I was doing a hundred all the while I thought I was doing 85. Cost me $400 and points on my license.

I tacked a cbr 1000. Got it to 300km.
i was 13 years younger and substantially stupider. I don’t ever suggest going that fast. A fly would take you off.
