around 3200rpm. relatively low.

id say u should be at least 2500 seems high to me alot of trans places do free inspectons i think it would be worth checking out bun the again if u had it floored it may have just shifted to the last gear bur under normal driving it should be hitting the last gear at at least 35-40

riverat1540 07.15.2009 11:02 PM

maybe u miss-counted the shifts is my best answer the more i think of it

holy crap id hate to have to send mail there

I usually take 5th in my Mustang at around 120 :tongue: 5th gear is too tall though, really drops you out of the powerband and it takes a bit of effort to get it to the governor (135, damned thing). It's got an insane powerband compared to a european or japanese car but at that speed a 2 ton car geared for highway cruising needs more beans than it's got. 6 speed and a built up engine will come when I get the $$$$.

riverat1540 07.15.2009 11:16 PM

ive had my jeep cherokee 4.0 up to 130mph then the govner kicked in. also a 5speed but manual took forever to get there but wil spank a 6cyl 5sp mustang

Unsullied_Spy 07.15.2009 11:18 PM

Jeeps can really move, I had a '94 Cherokee with the High Output 4.0 (not sure what's different with the hipo one) and a 5 speed and it hit 60 in 7 seconds in 4wd on ice and it would push the needle around to 0 (85 MPH speedo) in a VERY respectable time for an SUV but it was very unstable.

riverat1540 07.15.2009 11:25 PM

yea my speedo ends at 100 but ive had the needle strait down which has to me about 130 just by judging the distance on the speedo.but gets up to 100 pretty quik for a 6 cyl can get about 60 in second and 90 in third

Unsullied_Spy 07.15.2009 11:28 PM

The speedo in my Protege goes to 140, at the rev limiter in 5th gear it's around 145. No governors FTW!

mopar1994 07.15.2009 11:41 PM

The speedo in my 1972 roadrunner goes up to 155mph

BL_RV0 07.15.2009 11:46 PM

I knew before loading the post, the preview in my E-Mail had the text of the URL and the filename of that picture has the make and model of that particular vehicle. Let's see something that you actually own though (not your parents, either).

BTW, my oil pressure gauge only goes up to the level in the vid, and never moves. I think I might have low oil pressure or a bad gauge. The camera went dead before I could punch the throttle... It's got a 318 and it's a 92. Runs like a dream.

i was a witness, i was in the car, ben hit it the first time when we were on the way to wawa, and we were astonished, and on the way back we tried again... and indeed it hit 5th gear.

Close enough though, at least you own one. I got video of my own, turns out 4th gear is good past 120 :tongue: My window was down and I didn't get the left part of the speedo but I got everything past 60 or 70.

I wish there was a road like that around here...really. I could finally top out my Rustler. :mdr:

Unsullied_Spy 07.16.2009 03:37 AM

With the Neu 1515 1.5D in my Rusty I hit 45-50 almost effortlessly, then I blew out a stub axle and never tried again :no: 24/38 is pretty wicked gearing for a Rusty :lol:

What's_nitro? 07.16.2009 03:41 AM

I forget what my gearing is, but BG's speed calc said ~135 mph with a LMT 1940/7 HA, 6s, & MMM.
