Default Jk Top Speed

what is the average top speed can a JK Rubi running 32s with a 4.1 ring and pinion, on a CAI and a Cat-back do on the highway?

If you get a programmer you can take the limiter off. I don't go over 75 with my mods. It just doesn't feel right.

I suppose racer is right. I have done 80-85 for quite a bit of miles and other than the hood looking like it was about to fly off it was a fairly smooth ride. That was with the specs in my sig.

I drove about 20 miles at 95mph the other day. There was some tornadoey lookin' weather to my west, headed quickly in my direction! The JK, my dog, and I made it through without any trouble!

I've done about 150 km/h on a nice flat stretch... sure can tell these things aren't built for comfort nor speed. Don't recommend going flat out, lest you sin and turn your jeep into an SRT abomination like the GC.
