I though the 430 was 149 in all of them and not varied like the GS3

I did 110 this morning while driving my uncle to the airport because we were late. It was like 3 in the morning so I guess I couldn't really hurt anyone.

You can hurt yourself.

I'm assuming your uncle isn't "anyone"?

I've gotten mine up to 125-135 the most. I just don't feel comfortable at that speed. Just be careful guys....

Yeah, be careful folks. I used to do these high speeds without a thought a couple of years ago. Now, I just seem to think a bit more before doing it (but still do it every so often ) ... 145 on my GS400.

Well, since I'm still running the stock ecu with a piggyback the governor is still there. Once I switch to a standalone ECU system, there won't be any governor. Also, I'm going to upgrade to a 3.76LSD(longer gearing compared to the stock GS3's 3.92) rear end so that will further increase the top speed. I'd say 185-190mph shouldn't be a problem when I'm done. Possibly 200mph if I raise the rev limit with 800-1000hp in the motor(my eventual power goal). However, I doubt I'll ever take it that high though...that's just crazy lol.

Well, I don't think I will ever take it up that high...it's just freaking nuts. Maybe like 160-170max . I've been in my friends supra one time up to like 195mph(GPS verified) and I think that's the only time I'm ever gonna experience something as crazy as that in my life.
