**Palf70Step** · 09-02-2009, 05:51 PM

Who's that driver, Chewbacca?

72BlckButy · 09-02-2009, 05:57 PM

Not to take away from the pic.... (definitely too funny)

But....

What do you think about your 200R4 behind your 250? Did it make a noticeable difference?

Very good combo!!

BAGNDRAGIT · 09-02-2009, 07:11 PM

did i miss something, whats so funny? the fact that the truck can reach 95mph?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-02-2009, 07:32 PM

Im pretty sure the speedo is off...

BAGNDRAGIT · 09-02-2009, 07:39 PM

ebfabman · 09-02-2009, 08:21 PM

Yeah I know its not that funny and yes the speedometer is off about 17-18%. The 200r4 and 250 6 is a great combo. With the old saginaw three speed, 55 was about all I really wanted twist the 6, now with the .67 overdrive and torque converter lock up 75 seems comfortable. btw I have been using the garmin gps as a speedometer til I get the ratio adapter

BAGNDRAGIT · 09-02-2009, 09:57 PM

the garmin isint a bad idea. i have no speedo right now cause i have an electronic autometer and i need the converter.

ill have to try that.
Thx ebfab

Speaking of speed, anyone know about how fast you're going if you can twist it back around to the 20?

I wouldn't know, I haven't tried it!

I'm pretty sure my tires would blow around 125.

I have had my 250 3spd Saginaw combo up to about 85mph (135km/h) using a gps for speed not the speedo, its scary and she screams but it has been done. My speedo goes about that far when i do it.
