5kcstq at sisna.com, it sounds like you may have an issue, any turbo converted
car isn't going to have aerodynamic drag problems at a measly 120mph, no
matter how brickish.  Figure this, your car weighs about 2500, your putting
out 160hp, that is plenty of power to get you to redline in 5th, considering
that would be about 125-130mph.

Sounds like you may have another problem that aerodynamics, turbo converted
Coupes should be clawing up the freeway at 4k rpm in 5th.

Its hard to say what it could be, do you have an air/fuel ratio meter hooked
up?
