My limiting factor is the rest of the car, not the engine. Anything above the speeds posted, I don't like the feel of the steering, suspension, brakes. And, like the other posts, I leave LOTS of room in front of me.

Bob, If your pushing water out with Skips 3 lb valve there is a reason.
I would take the valve off and flush it good in the sink. It may have dirt
in it and be in and be leaking. Or you may have a slight compression
leak putting pressure in the system for this try a bottle of Bars stop leak.
