Default Top speed of a piped YFZ 450?

Anyone one ever checked the top speed of a piped YFZ450. Nothing else just piped and rejetted stock gearing and tires no other mods.

As pendejo said, it will be the same, but it will get there quicker.
The YFZ (in stock trim)(according to Dirt Wheels) did not top out because it lacked power, it topped out because it hit the rev limiter. So reardless of what you do to improve power, it will not increase in top speed. Only gearing changes/different tire sizes, or an aftermarket rev limiter with a higher RPM limit will change the top speed of the YFZ.

Ok thanks for the info. Before I put the High comp piston, TM42, and the cam mod in mine I ran it next to a friends crotch rocket and it topped out at 84 which is faster than they say it should run in stock form.
