You're full of it.
The SVT isn't computer limited at 143, it's drag limited. You aren't making more power than a SVT, and you have a similar or worse coefficient of drag. But then again, it is teh intarweb so you could claim that you hit 160.

I did hit an indicated 155 on a slight decline... but I have too short of sidewalls, so speedo is a bit fast!

An *indicated* 155, with short sidewalls, and irratic speedo at that speed is probably only in the 140's.. that's being easy about it, too. A bit fast is right! lol
