Talk about modifications, or anything else associated with performance enhancements. Have a new idea for performance/reliability? Post it here. No idea is stupid! (please use Detailing and Appearance for cosmetic ideas)

My Firebird has plenty of power but at 140 mph it must spin at 5600 rpm in top 3rd gear. I don't take it much over 5000 so 130 is about max.

I used to love my original 2.41 super speedway gearing. The car would do 160 mph but the bottom end was boring.

Km/h maybe...............easy, easy, easy just getting in a little canuck/US humor lol.
I've seen 140MPH, did it in less than a mile and a half(2.41km for the canucks
). The car is definitely not aerodynamically designed for those speeds :) . Most scared I've been in a vehicle, wayyyyyyyyyyy to light over 125mph for my liking.

I am at 115mph as a max. But yeah heavy stuck to the road is a must at top speeds. :)

dirtracr95 and I were getting closer. He was going to help me with my 94 hd 4t60E rebuild. He was great with me, but I am glad you fished this out clm2112. =D>
