with the gear ratio change anybody know what top speed is with the gov. removed?

158.8 mph in 6th gear is red line & fuel cut-off.
Should take about 225 whp to get there.

Too slow for what? Do you frequently need to travel at 159mph?

not frequently but would like to see the car do better than that

You could always raise the rpm and fuel cut-off points but you need more horses and will likely go - POOF!

i have had my hatchback up to 150 with lots of rpms to go but the rear of the car got a little to light feeling to the point you could feel it wobble slowed it done and never tried again even after i lowered it

You sir are a braver man than i. While i trust hondas reliability long term.... I have yet to trust a honda, or any fwd, past 120. Good to know she will be stable at higher speeds!

think every car i have owned at least once i want to know what it can do but like i said i never hit top end because of that wobble i got at 150 a spoiler might have helped but never like drilling holes in a new car that i planned on trading in at some point

Why? There's no indication that those parts are the weak link in the Si engine.

because these engines cant hold high HP for long think it was map performance that had 500hp on theirs it lasted it bit but it finally blew.

PRL has a built SI engine and theirs is still holding 600+ hp which 100 of that is from NOS

You're going to need a lot more than rods and pistons to go to 500+ horsepower; and I'd imagine mileage and driveability might suffer.
