misterp Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 lol havent thought hopefully it holds im sure as hell not putting pins in it. it may get shakey but it should hold. the cowl should be good for some extra down force. i may put some weather stripping on the bottom of the hood like p said. Well if you're cowl hood wasn't already functional I'd say remove the plastic cowl cover & weatherstrip and add a 3/4" lip along the back edge of the hood, that will extract the underhood air like a mofo, not only keep that hood glued down but also actually provide a few more pounds of downforce...

desertss Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 180mph on interstate 80 in nevada...........running from the law then i woke up and realized i was dreaming. actually i have only had it to around 100 while passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelleyperformance Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 (edited) ya the factory speed limiter is between 106 and 110, and is ETC controlled so it doesnt feel like a rev limiter/fuel cut. IMO a stock/moderately modified SS can do up to 130 and then it starts to stop accelerating. ive gotten 146 with the auto tranny, and yes mr. p the gear limited top speed is in the 170 ballpark. but like you said, its a hell of a brick to ever push near that fast. i think being almost 4 inches lower helped me alot, and yes my hood @ 140ish does look like its about to smash into my windshield...... i cant wait to see what she does with the new motor and the t-56 (gear limited to 185+) and once i get the 4.10s in BTW DONT FORGET- stock tires are not rated for speeds above 110 (yes of course they can go faster) but be careful, on the dyno when they are spun faster they get hot as hell really fast. we wouldnt wanna see anybody get hurt EDIT: that 146 was GPS SOG, the log files said 150something but really doubt thats accurate. it was still pulling fairly good, ran into traffic tho Edited June 8, 2007 by kelleyperformance (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowering did help a bit, there's a few aero things I really want to try, I think I can get another 10-mph out of the truck and hell it might even make a difference in my 1/4-m MPH too. Time to hammer some aluminum! Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shreveportSS Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Does the TBSS count?? 151 mph gps. had more, but the upper windshield molding blew half off and made me chit myself. For the first few milliseconds the blam blam blam on the roof sounded like a fatal tire failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelleyperformance Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 those TBSS are surprisingly strong at high speeds..... but ive only bounced mine off the factory speed limiter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
