What is your top speed? Post your MPH and Setup!
Hey guys I just wanted to get an idea of how much power we have out there in the squarebody world.
WHAT IS YOUR TOP SPEED? WHAT DRIVETRAIN AND UPGRADES ARE YOU RUNNING? (pictures are nice!) (If you have quarter or eighth mile times post them too!) ![]() |

Re: What is your top speed? Post your MPH and Setup!
The suburban in my sig. I hit 110, according to my calculations it will hit 128 before governor. I stop at 110 because the tires are rated at 112. Try explaining that to dad. She hits 110 real easy and rides and steers like a upper-class sedan.

Re: What is your top speed? Post your MPH and Setup!
With the eighties models, where the speedo stopped at 85 MPH, the fact that the speedo in in the OH WOW section means very little, but the guy with the Camaro running at 127 MPH, said I was pulling away from him.

Re: What is your top speed? Post your MPH and Setup!
Mine has posted a best speed of 109 or 110mph in the 1/4mile. That was with my old setup...stock smallblock with a aftermarket cam, TH350 and a stock G80 posi. It's faster now with the new setup, but I haven't had the speed recorded.

Re: What is your top speed? Post your MPH and Setup!
Well, this may not count but the truck did hit this speed. On the way between home & college there was a 1/2 mile or so stretch, straight as an arrow and about a 20 degree downslope the entire way.
I was running along side my friend's 280Z and we got to 135 on his speedo. I let off because my truck started to float. It was in a reasonably fresh 305, 700R4, and the tires were rated up around 160mph.

Re: What is your top speed? Post your MPH and Setup!
at maxton i hit 122.8. That was with 3.08 gears a 30.2 inch tall tire and a mild 454/th350. Ya cant expect much top end out of something with the aerodynamics of a shoebox.
That being said, i am going back with a turbo'd 468 and a few aero mods and see what happens! |
