Need help in calculating high speed run potential...

I stated earlier that I own a 91'CRX and realisticly speaking I think it would be possible to hit 160 with a monster cam and a huge boost from a turbo.

I dont know if any of you have ever driven a CRX but the gearing is just fine for achieving high top speeds it just lacks the power to do so.

I hit 135 at the top of 5th gear and the car did not have enough power to pull anymore than that. My CRX has a cold air intake, headers, port and polished head, 2 1/2 inch exhaust and Jacobs electronics ignition. system

So i guess its not stock, I think my CRX could hit 155-160 with a cam and a turbo. JMO

No way for a stocker
