OK whats the highest you've gotten your ship to?
I equipped an A-wing with only an engine, droid interface, booster and reactor. Using engine overload 3 I got the speed to 1973 while using my booster. I didn't have perfect resources to make all the items but it wasvery good. The engine topped out at just over 117.
Another ship may possibly be faster....

Here is my top speed. The first one is top cruse speed, the second one is with boost. I dont know how to make clickies so just copy and past.

This is with a markV 119.2 engine, 44 speed markV booster and one big a$$ reactor to handle EO4.

I heard that EO4 actually goes slower than EO3, is this true or is it just my rebel freind not knowing what hes talking about?

Best engine I have had is a Mark V player made 118 speed 68/65/68 P/Y/R. While it takes up nearly every bit of mass available on an A-Wing, flying one at that speed is what all spaceflight should be like and I highly recommend checking it out if you can 
Sadly, I no longer fly an A-Wing as I left the Alliance Havoc Squad long ago...

No EO4 is faster. with EO3 i was running top speed with boost in the 1900s, dont remember exact. Only thing you got to watch is if you dont have a big enough reactor you can disable half the components on your ship. EO4 takes alot of power to run.

I wonder if this is causing a problem I've been having recently. Especially since I didn't start noticing it until around the time I got EO4. It only seems to happen at the kashyyyk space station but if I repair after running EO4, WO3, Cap O4, and RO4 on a MK IV reactor with about 16800 energy with normal use in the management screen of about 14K the only thing that seems to work after that is my engine. Everything else is disabled even though fully repaired and only traveling to another system, landing and unloading/reloading a component or two fixes it. I can't land on Kash and do that, well I can but it doesn't fix it.Also during that time my engine flies at about 2/3's speed.
I'll have to test to be sure again but I'm pretty sure this only occurs if I repair at Kashyyyk so maybeEO4 is not the cause, and there are no problems before the repair while all the overloads are going. AlsoI think I've noticed that if I've taken armor damage and do the repair this problem doesn't happen but that might just have been luck. Anyone have an idea on what could be causing this though? Or have you had the same thing happen?

lol well it looks like I found my own answer here. I just realized there is a profession forum for pilot lol. Apparently at least in Kashyyyk I'm experiencing a bug where when I repair EO4 is not resetting correctly and so it's shutting down all my systems. Apparent fixes are #1 obviously buy a bigger reactor, #2 or run EO3 instead, #3 run a pilot command like emergency thrust which supposedly can cause all the systems to reset.

Got my RG TIE Interceptor up to 1511 cruise and 1933 on Boosters. Running RO3, EO3.
That's on a crafted Lvl 9 engine, Spd 119, YPR 67, 67, 62.
Edit: I should note that I'm saving mass by not using armor at all... it's fun to fly without a net.
