If nothing physically stops you from hitting 155, you won't be going any faster...

I have always made out better by stopping on the bike. The PoPo is so surprised that I don't run, they let me go with a warning.

Anyways.....155 not due to our gears:) And the way mine pulled to 140+.....I don't think it's drag either...LOL. And on another note (as someone also mentioned earlier) the SS is rediculously smooth at high speed.
After a certain point..you have to have the power to push it..my truck does 135 tachin at 4500...and wont go any faster.. and I dont have a govenor...and that was a 5,7(and 5000lbs)....we only have a 2.0.
