how fast was i going? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ocbaud · 01-03-2005, 08:30 PM

i wasnt paying enough attention to look at the tach, but i got my speedo wrapped around back to 25mph on the highway a little bit ago. its scary passing traffic with 100+ mph lane changes

anyways, dont drive when you are severly pissed off because you can kill yourself.

yes, i know what i was doing wasnt safe, especially because it was right before 6pm, but like i said, i was VERY VERY pissed

offroad84chevy · 01-03-2005, 08:34 PM

What did someone hit your dog?

784X4GUY · 01-03-2005, 08:35 PM

Lordy...Fast truck ya got there, But becareful man...Later Mike

ocbaud · 01-03-2005, 08:37 PM

oh yeah, the truck still pulls really hard at those speeds, even with the new 3.73 gears

84stepper2 · 01-03-2005, 08:40 PM

man how the heck can you go down the highway in your truck so fast with those gears and tranny? I have the same set up and my truck revs up so high just even cruising down the road. What rpm's are you running going 75 mph?

ocbaud · 01-03-2005, 08:46 PM

3500rpms at 75mph

i think i had about another 800-1000 rpms before the engine ran out.

84stepper2 · 01-03-2005, 08:47 PM

ok cool. I need to get my speedo fixed and so I can know how fast I am going all the dang time. Do you know how much your new speedo gear cost after you got the gear installed?

ocbaud · 01-03-2005, 08:50 PM

both new speedo gears where about $20 or so for both

cochran63 · 01-03-2005, 08:50 PM

You should do like longhorn Man and show some pics of the speedo.

84stepper2 · 01-03-2005, 08:53 PM

Very nice, sounds like a cheap easy fix. And hopefeully I can get it out to the track this friday before I go back to school on Saturday.

when you are driving that fast, the last thing on your mind is taking pics or videos.

oh yeah, i like my SS brake lines too, can really tell a difference at those speeds

i probably scared the **** out of this ford superduty, i was behind him in the passing lane, he was going slower than me and wouldnt get over so i hauled ass around hiim and swearved back in front of him so i wouldnt have hit the minivan in front of me in the slow lane.

yes, i will say it again, i dont normally do it, but it made me feel better a little and i know it was dangerous to me and other people, but i didnt care at the time...

gchemist · 01-03-2005, 09:35 PM

You had 2.72 gears first right? If so then 100 MPH is all you were doing. Sorry man but my 305 can do that.

Last time I was pissed like that I broke something. Keep it off the street. Kill the tires in the parking lot is better than killing yourself or others.

*1FaastC10* · 01-03-2005, 09:37 PM

heh, G, that's a full 100mph faster than yours goes.

cliffsta · 01-03-2005, 09:52 PM

wow and i felt bad about hitting 85 on the highway the other day. I'm too scared to go much beyond that, and with 2.56 gears, i bet it'll go a bit further. But not much further as i have the above-stated 305 2-barrel....
not sure what the revs were, as the wind noise prevented me from hearing much of the motor.

ocbaud · 01-03-2005, 09:56 PM

with this calculator:
http://pw1.netcom.com/~sgalaba/mph.htm

the last time i took it up high with my old 2.73 gears i was running 132mph at 4500rpms.

with the new gears i was running i think around 6100 rpms and i guess around 133mph?

C-10volvo · 01-03-2005, 10:15 PM

132!!!! in a BRICK?? i give you some credit, that is one powerfull motor you got there. is that the fastest you've gone in a car?

yes, fastest i've ever gone in any vehicle.

it still had power left in it too

just need a 700r4 now to see it again

magnethead · 01-03-2005, 10:39 PM

what were you pissed off at to do something like that?

my friends neighbor was driving us around in his '03 F-150 lightning, and we did 135 going downhill right past the state school

i would rather not talk about it now or ever on here. its a truck forum and we need to keep it about trucks.

phantom dually · 01-03-2005, 10:44 PM

135 aint $hit!! BTW a 700r4 wouldnt get you any more speed likely. It would probably keep kickin down or burn up first!!

I have to agree, I have a (I think, equivalent amount of motor) and a 700r and I dont think it'll go that fast. It's like pushing a billboard down the highway. Feels fast as all get out though doesnt it? hope everything work out Eric, oh and dont drive so fast :p
