<p>You dont need more power to average 150 ....but you will need heat exchanger or big ass air to oil cooler and probably more radiator then you have now and maybe some minimal aero mods would make the run less or a pucker factor :-)</p>

Oh heck no! I had a hard time trying to keep the Pantera near 130
last time. I don't think she'll do 150 with the present engine. I
would also want to put an oil cooler in place and possibly do
another cooling mod. The car is definitely not set up for 150. But
if I have all the equipment to -tech- for a higher speed class, then
I can push it harder in the measured speed trap to see what it's
capable of. It's kind of a test section for me.<br>
