But the engine felt like it could go much higher. Wouldn't suprise me. All contours are drag limited to 143. Isn't that fast enough????  I don't know how you got up to 120 without a chip. The Zetec is governed to 112. As hard as I tried before my chip it would NEVER get higher. Now I have gotten it up to the end of the speedo 130. If I had more room to run(more power+ a higher speedo)I think the Zetec could get up to the 143 limit.

Speedometers become terribly inaccurate on our cars at higher speeds, so it's possible he could have been going about 112 and the speedo reads 120. Maybe he also has diff tires sizes from stock?
