In 6th gear about the top speed you can get is about 140mph. There is not enough torque to turn the gear any faster.

I am just wondering if you were running in the 1/8,would it be better to use the paddles? The reason why i ask is that we have an 1/8 track here in Western NY.

It's called theoretical speed VS maximum actual tested speed of the vehicle.

If you can get the 1-2 gear shift right you will be faster in paddles. But it is hard to do.
