I have wittnessed 270 km/h in 5th on the road and it was still going when I stepped back. I doubt that my car has a top speed limiter other than its drag coefficient! Euro spec. car and stock everything at the time I did that. And I am surprised that you found a dyno shop which actually made a 5th gear run. My shop here refused even the idea of it as a principal. 1/1 ratio, kind of ideal isn't it? Can it explain slightly high numbers?
