Let us know how you do! 190 sounds about right with your blower as long as it can generate power low enough in the RPM range. There is no question the Magnusen Supercharges Z06 can do 190 in 6th but it builds boost much sooner. I'm curious to see how it turns out.

And this goes without saying but I strongly recommend checking tire airpressure and brake master cylinder right before your run...
:cheers:

I suggest aligning the car before doing a top end run

Ran up to 189 in 5th last week 450 RWHP ZO6 tranny. Got squirelly as the road was rough. The traction control shut it down or I did can't really tell it happen at the same time. It did not struggle for the top of fifth. I don't know if it would pull 6th.
