It's not limited, so more bhp will give more top speed.

With due respect - why the hell do you want it to do more than 144?? Improve acceleration or driveability, yes, but top speed figures in this category are pretty academic?

On track days?

I know in the summer they have a day at Elvington with a HUGE straight - last year I was hitting 135 (gps) in my Civic Type R and there was a guy there in a skyline (500bhp) who was getting up near 180mph...

On the road there is no point though unless you like the view from a prison cell.

I think the top speed for a car at the Elvington 1.2/1.25 mile speed check was 209 mph
It was a Nissan Skyline.
