My initial goal was to hit 150 but I was able to hit 155 according to the rev\spd meter, I love those vegas trips from LA. I was next to two other EFs one with a b20 and one that passed us with no problem was running a CR-VTEC. Just build it right and who tells how fast you can go. I can also say that I'm contempt on trying to break the sound barrier in that car now.

You must have a B16A or B18C VTEC motor that can handle those higher revs. He asked about a B20, which redline on one of those is about 6500-6700. With a GSR or other short ratio tranny mated to a B20, that would make the top speed even less due to the gearing.

i would assume its going to depend on several things. is it going to be a stock swap? intake/header/injectors/turbo can all very that........or am i wrong and thinking of torque.
