Chief.... I will need to stick with the existing dash panel because the chrome was redone way back in 2002 and is also looks new. Any used one I find will need to be re-chromed and it was really expensive then, so I don't have the budget for that right now. I will need to ask the shop if the woodgrain would be damaged. The speedometer, oil, water, and hood tach were rebuilt by Redline Gaugeworks with new guts that allow them to work with the LS7. I decided to go with the 200 mph as kind of a joke only because I think the car would fly before it hit 160. LOL!!

I've done 165 in the LeMans 'brick' several times, and 140+ on many occasions. Done close to 180 (175+) in the T/A. You'd be surprised how well they stay 'grounded'!

The big jump is from 180 to 200mph, that barrier is hard to break. That's where aero makes the biggest difference. And you need a considerable jump in power too.
