Correct the max ecu goverened speed for a MCS is almost 140mph. I believe this is done in 5th gear at close to 6k rpm.

As for the NOS I am not a person to ask on this. But be very careful at going those speeds on normal roads to test the car's speed.

hey, welcome to NAM. Just make sure this 'testing' takes place on a legal venue, wouldn't want to get your MCS taken away so soon!

its not ECU governed....its aero-dynamically governed, add more hp and you get a higher max speed.

they answered the speed question and stuff...

nitrous wont really hurt it unless you do it wrong, or hit it at the wrong times...

www.m7tuning.com sells a venom kit for the MINI

Welcome to NAM! You sound pretty excited about your new MINI. This is the site to find out how to make it go a little faster if you have that need for speed.
