    Every look at some dyno's?

    They're designed to flow to 4800-5200 then stop.

    Try changing your valvetrain. (VS cam)

    You know what adds top end? Mods and a tune.

    idk what you're talking about, mine kept climbing pretty well to 155.....

    and yeah, mods/tune helps. Changing the powerband is your friend for top end.

    but then again, why, when you dont need to go over 80 ever?
