Black2003SS Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 120mph and that was on 7 cylinders...I'm sure it will hit 130ish before it really hits a brick wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woffski Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 About 105 to 110 is the fastest you will get a stock one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSS04 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 110 stock, i didn't try it after my tune yet. should be more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast4popper Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 buried the speedo for a good 2 minutes straight. had a cop friend with me and he was guessing 140ish. they feel pretty stable at them speeds for being a truck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Bowtie Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 120 once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drako Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Supposedly are truck can reach 170. However round 140ish the hood starts to look like it will fly off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jballer323 Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Supposedly are truck can reach 170. However round 140ish the hood starts to look like it will fly off. How did you figure out 170? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drako Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I think with the gears it theoretically can reach 174 or something like that. I remember it was Mr.P who brought it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I burried the needle a couple of times, enough to follow a WS6 trans-am at the same speed past the speedo for couple minutes. Also played around with the bikes... My guess is 140...but I can go even faster It just doesn't take the curve the same way than my camaro did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jond983 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 gotten mine to 132 clocked by a state trooper (almost went to jail for it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I think with the gears it theoretically can reach 174 or something like that. I remember it was Mr.P who brought it up. Just because it's geared for it doesn't mean it can do it. My gut tells me that with F/I 150-155 is a more realistic ceiling; that's my guess. On the hood lifting, the problem is that air likes to enter between the headlights and the front brow of the hood, so as the air piles-up under there a difference in pressure develops and the front edges of the hood jump around. One of these days (yeah right) I want to experiment with putting rubber weatherstip under the front edge of the hood to keep the air out. I personally have not logged any runs, but I several times have had the truck shift into 4th gear at WOT and keep pulling, so that's 126-mph plus some - call it 130 I guess; the interesting part is that I was passing about 40 bikers at the time, I was hurrying to get around them before the passing lane closed Mr. P.
