To see 200 mph in your car would be great, There are going to be alot more factors involved than most think, I would like to see a ls series engine in a heavy car do it, As far as suspension is involved I cant give any advise other than just be safe, On a short burst such as a fast drag race car a quick 60ft and big mph is not that hard but it is like hitting a brick wall after a point every thing hits 100% percent load factor, Have you run your car at 100% load factor to see what it will actually do. Get in and run it as hard as it will and dont lift final gear and 100% throttle it will eventually lay over then it is getiing ready to crap the bed but get an idea what kind of power you have, the duty cycle of the engine will be high go dry sump a oe style oiling system will never hold at a sustained rpm, I dont know what kind of tracks you have in your area but if you have one where you can open it up run it like your going to kill it, it will run hard to a mph then slowly fall off to another point then your at your load factor, every step after that is a whole new project. Fastest I have run is 226 land Wendover 96 158 H2o Firebird 01
