The 168 I think was for the LT-1. The LT-4 should be a little higher, 170 something.

That's what I'm thinking. I've had my LT-1 up to 150 and she still felt like she had about 7 mph of top end left in her.

175 MPH is the standard for LT4...plus or minus 1.

Fastest LT1 6 speed in a magazine was a 1995-170 mph.
