I've hit 110 before then backed out because of EGTs. I've since tweeked things a bit and I think that it may be time for another run

I hit 115mph on the dyno the other day.

My nads aren't big enough to do that on asphalt without more work on the truck. Like, . . . . . round tires.

I hit 95 passing someone today trying to get back to stephenville to meet someone. Had it past the 100 mark last week and when I let off, it took a couple seconds to come off a hundred. With my 3.07s and getrag, Id say if I had the cahones 150 would be plausible.

Not to brag but me and maybe 2 others on here would probably win that contest. The 3 of us with getrag o/d and 3.07 rears. Especially once I get the 3200.

I had my 90 5 speed with 4.10s up to 100 before, but I'm not sure I want to know how many rpm's it was turning.

yeah I can cruise at 80mph and still have plenty left to be gone quickly. I never maxed it out. I would guess it could burry the speedo. 307 gears really make the truck a great hwy cruiser.
