    I've been down there many times, and I'm telling you, it's hard as hell to run 150 in a truck in a mile.
    It's an accomplishment just to keep your truck together for 1 mile full throttle.

    I'd be scared as hell to run your truck Garison, lol jk.

    I've gotten my ol truck to 155mph pretty damn quick, but i'm not sure how long i'd hold it. It was feeling a bit light on the topend.
    Plus my tires were probably gonna explode, haha.

    See ya there alex, and ssthis. looking forward to seeing that truck run.

    later,
    See you there! Hopely She Will Stay Together

    ya, i don't think of us need to worry about hitting 190mph, even the modded vettes have a hard time.

    Do you have any guesses on how fast yours is gonna run?

    158mph maybe?

    Yeah 150 seemed to be about the magic number in mine. Felt perfectly fine til right at about 150 and then it felt like someone was trying to lift it up in the air. Not a fun feeling.
