with 4.56's you should be able to go 132mph in 4th gear with stock tires and a stock tranny gear ratio of .69 at 5000 rpms...

Not as fast as 4.10's or 3.55's, but you'll reach your top end faster!

I'd say plenty fast, but there is no such thing!!

138 was the limit when i had the hypertech, when you hit the governor it shuts off the fuel to keep it from going any faster... thats how i KNOW my truck can at least go 138... and not with the Mopar PCM, it doesn;t have a limit, so my guess is about 148-150, since i raced a bike before and my friends mustang read up to 140 and i was pulling away, i need to hook up a OBDII Scanner or Snap on or somthing and really see. im Sure its close to the 145 range... since i can hit 138 easily..

now i just need to figure out how to get up to 199-200mph and call it a day!

When i did my 95+ MPH stunt (bouncing off speed limiter @ 4000 RPM), i went from 95 back down to 65 for a curve within 1/8 mile. Had alot of brake shudder (i pulse modulated the brakes to help keep the wheel straight), but no lockup or anything.

you know, it'd be alot easier to just latch up to a dynojet and run it out the back door?

don't we all

I hope to get my BMW M5 (which i plan on getting when i graduate) up to that area when its speed limiter is taken off but wouldn't even dare getting that close with my truck, the death wobble and the tires not being rated high enough is scary enough!
