Well, I've had by 8v up to 136mph (worked out by multiplying the 
RPM/1000 x 21.1mph, which is how they're geared) More than once, 
and no, no big hills involved. The speedo stops at 120, so it was 
kinda hairy. 

To do this, the block has been bored out to 1.9l and it uses a Shrick 
Road/Race cam, Accelleration up with a standard Corrado G60, but a 
bit smoother. Also uses NGK Platinum plugs, and has a compression of 
190 across the board.
