Bleck,
Good point. I don't see Vetter having a problem with 190 either.

p2=p1 * (v2/v1)^3

P1 = Horsepower Stock
P2 = Horsepower Modified
V1 = Top Speed Stock
V2 = Top Speed Modified

Fill in P1 / V1 / P2 and solve for V2.

From the tech data I have the vert is .31

The Z06 is around that too due to side ducts, and wider tires.
