Well if he is only at 4500 rpm's then he needs to downshift 1 if not 2 gears. 110 is even a lil low for what my honda (00) can do. Is it a vtec?

Push it off a cliff. The terminal velocity should reach an excess of 110 mph quite rapidly pending on height.

Dude, I've dared to take my four speed to 110 mph. Your boy's car has issues. The cliff idea is quite brilliant . Just playing. I have no technical advice to give. Sorry for wasting your time. Not really, but it reads nicely.
