well, i own a h22, and i can say i pull HARD upto 135mph, thats the speed i LET OFF at, it had balls to keep going, but it kinda gets freaky at that speed. and seeing 6800rpms on the speedo in 5th gear is a site to see. i'd give the lude 148-150 top end. im not possitive, but im just stating from personal experiences, that the h22 donsnt get exausted high up in speed. i bet with the right gearing, downforce, and traction, 160 wouldnt be a problem. i was around 6800rpms i belive at 135mph, i may be wrong, cause i was more focused on the road than my dash, but i know i saw 135mph the rpms were between 6500 and 6800 i think, i was gonna try to pin it, but it was just too fast. in a hatch, which is a lighter car than my tank, i can see no reason why he WOULDNT be pullin hard upto redline.
