High speed problem

Sup,
before explaining my problem... i am not doing it on highways but on tracks

My problem is I can no longer acheive 200km/h as easily as before. Few months ago I could go easily to 200 but now.. when I shift to 5th (about 180-185)... It cans go to 190 and stays there OR it is Verrrryyy slow to get to 200+... any idea why? didn't do any mod exept CAI.
thanks

subs... hehe. you have 'em! your subwoofers. 2 very big ones, at that.

besides that slowing you down...

its the CAI. surprise surprise. sure u can clean it if u want, but it'll still be the pretty much the same.

I've lost top speed when I've tried a SRI, a CAI, and I think even the K&N drop in I have now lose a little!

why? cuz high end torque probably dropped off a bit... yeah, these performance mods are kinda... eh.

still got ur stock airbox? swap it in... you'll feel some increase in the low end.. and you'll get ur top speed back.
