140 on the speedo, 5600 on the tach, in fifth gear on the front straight at Roebling Road. It was still accelerating, though more slowly, when I had to brake for Turn 1. It felt like it would have gone on to 150 if the straight had been a half mile longer. It's powered by a 410 Windsor. It's built as low as I can get it and it has a small spoiler. Handling felt fine at 140.
