Take a gps with you if you want to verify your speed.

Subject: What did I do?

I've been "tuning up" this week, new plugs, a splash of SeaFoam in the 
tank, a tank of 93 octane just for fun.  Adjusted valves although I 
don't think I changed much, they do sound a tad different, mostly 
quieter but one seems a bit louder, haven't tried to figure which one 
yet.  "Synch'd carbs although I just checked 'em and never touched the 
synch screw as they were fine.
Anyway, went for a bit of cruise today.  Seemed to be running fine.  On 
the highway she felt particularly happy so I canned it and it shoot up 
to 90 like nothing, then 100, then 110, 115 and I buried it. ?? I've 
never gotten that much out if it.  I guess I was doing 120.  Yikes.  I 
better go back out and verify that......wow.
Jeff
