Guys, how do you increase the top speed of your car? Is it by more bhp or torque or change gear ratio or increase fueling?

there's quite a few things to do

at this speed: you'll need massive torque or hp

since that's quite ridiculous to get, sure, 300hp is nice
aerodynamics is the next best thing.

you'll need to clean up your car's aero:
1)side mirrors
2)remove wing and replace with low-drag config
3)flat under-tray with low-drag diffuser
4)close up useless holes in bumper
5)with the diffuser you'll need a 'high' rear bumper
6)remove wipers.

minimise friction drag with smaller rear tires, narrow ones. maybe 185/60 R14?
fronts also needs to be narrower, too much grip! 195/55 R15.

these measures maybe extreme, but this is the 'normal' things to do if you wanna go straight, FAST.

For those who mentioned Hp is a figure and torque is all that matters, you're dead wrong. Torque is all about accelaration and moving your car. Torque determines your rate of accelaration. So without horspepower, all you can get is a high amount of pick-up speed and your car will stay at a stagnant speed after it runs out of juice ( in this case, HP) Horsepower & ratios affect your top speed not torque.
So before you think bout getting ridiculous amounts of torque which is totally impossible, think again.

Sigh.. Fred.. if u were in my shoes/driver seat, you would understand...damn malufying man!!

That fella looked damn stock. No IC, no big ass exhaust.. just a twin tip exhaust.
Sound of the exhaust also not loud...only the engine sound loud when he tekan. I saw some white smoke coming out of his exhaust when he tekan.

Do u think it was NOS or a Supercharger?
