yeah, a GTE has 30 hp over an NA, but around over 60 lb/ft of torque...
that combined with the gearing helps top speed...

My NA was in good condition and well tuned and wouldn't go much faster than 125 GPS verified without a slight downhill or a tailwind.
Can't remember the exact figure but above 100mph your HP needs to increase by a HUGE % to overcome the air resistance and it increases non linear. (I think squared but I'd need to check)

Edit: Mine is also stock, wait! I have one upgrade and it is the cabin air filter, does that count?

Is that uncommon? mind you the timing is set a few over what stock recommends, maybe thats why i'm getting about 12 miles to the gallon? lol.

I think a z24 cavilier woulda spanked me. But put 8psi on top the pistons:love:
Not sure the specs on the 5litre, but I would imagine cose to 300hp and lighter I bet.
