Q for people who have gone 140mph
when you hit 130mph did it feel like you hit a wall in terms of the car stops pulling a little... then it kinda breaks through and pulls hard to 140ish. I'm just curious if it is just my car.

this is kinda OT, but didn't a piece of windshield trim fly off the last time you broke the 'speed barrier' ?

You got a test pipe Sprint? I might consider a test pipe later on, the RT cat doesn't do a darn thing. I noticed absolutely no gains whatsoever.

I dont get any sort of "breakthrough." I hit a wall at about 130, and it's slow going from there on up.
But, 4th gear for me is way taller than your 5th. If I remember, redline in 5th gets you 157mph. Redline in 4th for me would be 185mph.

Are you sure?? I knew it was higher, just didn't know it was that high.lol What are the rpm differences between the two??

My max pulls pretty strong up to 140. However, this is my first time that one of my vehicles can go that fast. My indication of how fast it pulls to 140 is only that so take it as you will.

0-130 mph is strong, 130+ is more of a creep. . .have lots-a road ready. My accelleration seems pretty consistent after the 130 "wall." I don't experience any kind of "peak" like you described.
(5-speed, K&N panel filter, otherwise stock - 143 mph)

is your 4th gear "overdrive"? don't think our engines have enough torque to pull that hard at that speed...unless heavily modified. correct me if i'm wrong.

Sometimes its slow for me to get from 130 to 140. Other times, usually when I'm not paying attention to the speedo and my eyes are glued to the road, I'm at 140 before I even know it. I look down and I'm like "damn!"

This is because you don't have my intake I told you no one can accelerate at top speed as me ..
Then you know now that I'm the fastest

Yes it does hit a wall at first. Seriously drive that speed more and more and it will be easier to get to. The ECU will "remember" what settings it needs to be at to obtain it.

What was your rpm can you show us that ?
Did you get that with super charge or what ?
And please could you tell us your rims size because this will really effect that ?

5000 rpms , automatic tranny , NA = no supercharger or NOS , 18's but with 40 series tires so the diameter is as close as possible, but there will be some error

So no I dont just talk, I do buy but I dont see myself throwing money away if I am about to gain nothing from it. And when I do buy I do it in rashes. Such as how last time it was Clear corners, STS, Front Strut Bar, cone filter etc, redline tranny fluid etc. So it doesnt seem to me that I just sit around talking and not trying but I want to make sure what I do get is going to be worth it.
