I don't change my speeds due to HP, just how much throttle I use to get there
I generally do at least 10 over except when I drive my wife's RVR. The combination of quiet, height and CVT (no shift points) means I frequently look down and find I am going 20 or 30 over. I always know exactly how fast I am in my car but others mess with my perception of speed I have to watch the speedo like a hawk.
