friend was find he just woke up dehydrated for drinking so much the night before. dumba**. The thing im going to be running it at the track, so i plan of going faster than that, just dont have the funds to go buy parts right now. But i atleast want to 120+ what it use to do. I usually drive about 85+ and when a truck fulls up next to me when s**t lets go waste some gas. I have a jets stage two should i go with the superchip. Now remeber all dis happened when all i did was change to a cold air intake.

 

FYI:

Even with a programmer such as ours that can release the top speed limiter to 128 MPH on your vehicle it is based on the speed safety rating of the tire and does NOT mean that the vehicle will actually reach that speed.
It means the tire has a safety rating tested by the manufacturer not to fail up to that point.
(Example: a ZR rating on my Charger R/T is good to 255 MPH but the vehicle would never reach such a speed)

I would be scared s***less to get my truck up to 115mph, I doubt it could. Fastest I've ever had it was 75mph and that was when I was thinking about buying it. I guess I drive like a grandma.

 

So what tires should I go with?

 

If that's the case, I'm out of this thread. I won't help. I honestly hope you don't kill yourself, your passenger or an innocent bystander driving at those speeds. I say that because one of my friends was killed by some idiot who was going 91 mph on the freeway. My friend started to slow down because traffic was starting to pick up all of a sudden. The guy behind him was hauling *** driving a 3/4 ton '73 GMC and didn't see traffic slow down until the last second (it was a pocket of traffic) and rear ended my friends car hard enough to send him and his car to an over pass pillar. The car wrapped around the pillar and he was dead on impact. The guy who was driving wasn't driniking and he wasn't drowsy. He only had to serve 5 years. It's such B.S.

 

Must be nice to be able to drive that fast all over the place, what type of track you going to, dragstrip, circle or something else takes quite a bit to get up to 110 and then awhile after to get 120 are you even going to have the room to get to that speed and still be on this track or you just trying to win races by beating other vehicles when they hit their 115 speed limiter

 

First off, i dissagree with driving that fast all the time.

BUT, you have to take into account the grade of the road you are driving on. Even the lightest incline (you can't even notice) you will not be able to accelerate that 6000 lb truck past 110.

That is the reason the Audubon is the fastest highway. it was ENGINEERED to be fast because there is never any more than a 20* incline at any point on that road. American highways did not have the same precision engineering.

J415 sorry to hear bout your friend. I'm bout speed but in a safe way. if that makes sense.

 

i dont have a problem getting my truck to bury the needle ( well i just did it the first time the other day, theres a straightaway thats over a mile long, and everybody speeds on it because its a back road and cops NEVER go out there...)

BUT, i run 93 octane fuel......try putting in super and see if your results are different, although i dont encourage going that fast...i did it for the fact that ive never really hammered on it before, and thought it was a good time and place.

 

also, your axles are not balanced to go much past 80MPH. That is the dangerous thing. Not your driving, but your truck breaking at that speed. Imagine breaking an axle and diff fluid spews onto your brake rotor. you will pull to the opposite side of where the leak is and you could jacknife your front end and flip your truck. at that speed, you would be lucky to still be inside your vehicle when the truck comes to a stop.
