Top speed (gear limited)

[ChicagoRocket]

Anyone know what the rockets top speed is rpm limited to in 6th gear? I hit 143mph yesterday around 6500rpm in 5th gear. I would assume around 160-170mph would be the top speed. Anyone done it?

The Rocket 3 speedo is about 10% higher than actual speed. I've only seen 134 on my TFT minus the 13.4 would be about 121 mph. What did the phone app say?

By calculation 178mph indicated at 7000rpm in 6th, provided it has the power (or absence of wind resistance) to get there.

Edit: I see TTS supercharged one did 176mph not bad

if you unlocked speed limiter while tuning + if you increased RPM to 7400, then you can easily hit 170mph on straight road, ( make sure neck massage is booked before hand) how I know? dont ask me SOmeone posted video of but its on dyno 188MPH, still proves a lot of things, i messaged the uploader, they said Pennertune+increased RPM limit+unlocked speed limiter

He's on here too. In fact we claim him as ours.
We loan him out to TRat and charge them by the post.

The speed is ECU limited to 147 which I have seen on the speedometer. It will not exceed that without going into the ECU and changing the settings which I hear is not an easy thing to do.

Thanks guys, great info and pretty much what I expected. Didn't have my phone app going at the time just my helmet camera recording. Im good at 150mph, especially with no windshield. lol.
