I haven't had the chance to really test the Vmax as I don't have the right Autobahn nearby (i.e. no speed limit, three lanes, no inclines, little traffic), most of those I drive on are unfortunately two lanes and in hilly terrain, rather twisting and with some traffic. I went up to 305 km/h on the speedo twice, but there's room for more as I ran out of straight road at that point.

Pursuant to the dyno I went on after getting the GIAC stage 2, I currently have 433hp and 677 Nm (crank). Once the methanol injection works properly, it should be around 450hp I guess, as the DME pulls timing in the upper rev range due to high IATs. We'll see!

450 bhp crank is very impressive - must pull like a freight train!
