Re: dumb question

Topped out my 91 Z28 at 4800 rpms, with my gears come out to about 158 mph. She still had a little left in her

Here's what you need.

Re: dumb question

when my 91 GTA had the G92 LB9 in it i did a top speed run on the ohio turnpike, just east ot cleavland...it was at 6 am and there were probly 3 cars i passed in 12 miles...

with a .63 overdrive and 3.42 gears, i topped out at 143-145mph the rpms were at 4,500 or so...i coverd 12 miles in 5 minutes..this was also with no mods!....now that i have another 200HP on that 230 i did the 145 with...i cant wait to see waht itll do....theoretically it has enough gear to pull 178@6,000
