According to my homemade gofastulator, if your chip & exhaust has given you another say 15bhp at the flywheel, you're looking at just on 144mph top end. If you took off the wing mirrors, rear spoiler and dropped the car a couple of inches over standard, you might make 147!

The fun of course is getting there 8)
