Epster/Jimmy, be careful with that engine and the new chip. The valvetrain and rods are the weak link in the 3.2L engines. When the factory made the Carrera Clubsport they used different lighter intake valves because they increased the rev limit from 6520 to ~6800. They had to do this because the stock springs will tend to float the valves at higher rpms than the stock limiter. Valve float in our engines means valve to piston contact means rebuild/replace the motor $$$$$. Also by revving the engine higher you are putting much higher stresses on the rod bolts that were decreased in diameter by 1 mm. Doesn't sound like much, but from what I understand it makes all of the difference in the world, again this leads to mucho $$$$ in repairs when a rod bolt goes. The up side is the bent/broken/twisted engine parts make great conversation pieces later.

Also, there is no speed limiter in our engines from the factory. The only thing that will limit your top speed is redline in 5th. That should be in the 150-155mph range. I was too busy driving to get a really good look.
Again, be careful with that new rev limit. You may want to check with Steve Weiner of Rennsport Systems,

Very knowledgeable, very nice, and he'll let you know about why higher rev limits are bad in stock 3.2L cars.
