I would also think about upgrading to a SL55 fuel pump. I vaguely remember that was an option for Euro spec SRT6 and SLK32AMG for sustained 150+ mph driving. Don't hold me to this one. I am looking for the article now. Will post up if/when I find it.

Like has been said above, heat will play a factor in your performance. Just be sure to use high octane fuel and enjoy your 130mph legal roads. I'm Jealous!!!!!

Wow, sometimes I wonder why I even read some of these threads....but, just for kicks and giggles....now I am sounding like woody...lol....anyway....in the US I can't find many places to run 130 for 3 hrs, but maybe someday I will need to drive thru Nebraska to get to Utah or something...then maybe....but for what is worth....when cruising....cruising, you are not wot....so, the car settles in a certain rpm...I don't know what that is right now, but bare with me...once it settles in, and once throttle is stable...it is what it is...and these little cars n/a or supercharged will do fine at those speeds...and if you are worried about fuel mileage, don't speed...
