Default How fast can the HEMI go??

So just how fast can our HEMI powered Rams really go? I've gotten mine up to 120mph (with a superchip to remove the limiter) the other night before I had to slow her down a bit for an up coming traffic light and it was still pulling hard like it wanted to go alot faster and there was still quite a bit of pedel left so I know she can go or should be able to go alot faster than that.

stock our hemi's will top out at 108ish

but w/ a superchip i believe u are able to raise the limiter to 140

but at 140 u better have some nuts in a truck cause handling is not the best at slow speeds i couldnt imagine at top speed

To be honest though my ram handles fairly nice at low and high speeds. Granite its not a sports car in the handling but its still handles nicely though and Id never go that fast unless it was in a straight away taking it that fast through any turns would be insane. As for the 140 I know it has to be able to go faster than that, with the amount of peddle left at 120 there had to be more than 20mph left in her.

I don't think the Hemi's with just a superchip can hit 140mph but I can see hitting 130mph. SRT-10's have 500HP and can only hit 155mph.

I know that I have know desire to go over 100 in a truck, but I do understand the need for speed thing. One thing to watch for, The vehicles aren't intended for that kind of speed and few tires out there are going to be speed rated. Check your ratings. A blowout at that speed would not be funny.

Just keep in mind our trucks are about as aerodynamic as a brick...

As fast as your right foot will let you go! Just a thought.

I think 107 is plenty! I'd rather have more **** in the pants at 0-60!

I think the 265 optional tires are rated for around 110mph I believe
