Hey, everyone witha prelude post your mods and top speed (not theoretical bullshit either, give us that wild ride down the highway the day you almost killed yourself) AND BTW... anyone know about what the top speed of a 1993 SI with i/e/h pulleys would be?

125, 12AM, on a five lane highway in the middle of nowhere, beating a swapped civic's ass in the top end.

125 in SI
hey thats pretty awsome, i only asked becasue i havent had the chance to open SI up yet and all these people in the 140's are tlakin about Vtechs. but its completely stock. I srove my buddies 91 eclipse and got up to 106 on I-95... but it wouldnt have gone much faster without drafting behind a semi... so i was hoping and praying my lude would stomp his eclipse. im going to do intake exhaust and headers.... could i hit 125 with that?

A stock 1.8T Passat I rented in Germany (where the ECU is not speed-limited) cruised at roughly 140MPH with 3 people on board, very comfortably and with power to spare. My W8 is awaiting a chip to release its potential, but in Europe I've heard a few posts of owners going over 160MPH...like most German cars, they love to run on the top end, designed for those long, wide Autobahns. In my 1985 Prelude, the max speed I reached was 117MPH...the engine just ran out of momentum to push the car any faster against the aerodynamics, despite having some room left in the RPMs. The car was very stable though! My fastest speed achieved behind the wheel so far was on the speedway at Daytona, FL in a 1985 Saab 9000 Turbo with aero bodykit...I managed a flying lap average of 148 MPH. My stepfather owned the car, and we went to open track day (they no longer do it, but in the 80's, Daytona had a run-what-you-brung day, which required a helmet only! He ended up chickening out at 120, but really wanted to know what the car could do...so he asked me if I wanted to give it a go) The car had some room for more...but it scared the living shit out of me, and I backed off when I drifted through turn 4 and despite steering input, drifted to within a few inches of the outside wall. I just wasn't trained for that kind of speed at 18 years old! I limit my high-speed excursions these days to wide open freeways and highways with no traffic...I don't mind endangering my own life, but it isn't right to endanger others to that degree. I will stay under 100MPH when any other cars are on the road with me.

An SMF is a Super-Mega Flow intake, an air-horn shaped intake designed to allow greater airflow into the engine for better mixture, and therefore often a slight increase in power.

133mph in my '88 si. Could have gone faster, but my friend told me to slow down! Someday I want to see if it will do close to 140.
Mods: B20A engine. I didn't put in in myself, it came w/ the car. Keeps the the speed Up, and the insurance Low!!!
