I've been able to just make it to 100 on a slight incline in 5th gear. You have to be patient, build your speed steadily.
I can do about 118 on level ground, if you give me a few minutes to get there.

Wow, that blows--so to speak! HAR HAR!
Wait a sec. You've got CAI, headers AND exhaust and it still won't make 80 with the headwind??!?
Thank god for your mods, eh? Sounds like you'd be going backwards without them.
But Does the AT really sap that much power? I wouldn't know; we got the stick (now and always).
