How fast will a SC REALLY go...........
 

Who can give me actual numbers from their *stock* SC 1978/79 (any SC would be good but I think the 80/83 cars are a bit faster IIRC) on MPH and each gear at redline?

The 1980 C&D review gave 37 mph in 1st, 65/2nd, 94/3rd, 118/4th all at 6300rpm and 130mph @ 5650rpm.

I just had a tune up and oil change on my '79. Here is what I got this morning @ 6300rpm 37, 66, 97, 122, and then hit 132 @ around 5600 but I was a little busy and running out of road to push it further. But at least the car was still pulling now and willing to give me more when I shut down. Before the tune up 130mph only came in a tailwind and a 5 mile straight :) 129 was the actual top end and it would not pull 5600rpm.

Adding SSIs and a Danske d/t sport muffler next. Any feed back on what this will do over all.
