Mine goes, With a bit of bullying to 74, would a boost pin change help?

Help blow it up mabe, it will be the gearing rather than lack of power that is stopping it going any harder.

You need to check what code is on the box, 5 gears doesn't always mean a good top speed. And if you do go for longer gears you need the power to turn them.

I've got an aaz in my panel van and I don't think I've seen 70 yet, it doesn't sound too happy at that speed,55 is much more quiet and economical.
