Over 100MPH in 4th!
I ran her out a little yesterday, and found out that my truck (which could only do 89MPH in 5th when I got it) will now easily go over 100MPH in 4th!
Of course I squeezed a bunch of water out of the front of the head gasket....

p.s. I am not condoning speeding on public roads...

ha ha our speedometers only go to 100 mph!!! and yes i have been past the 100 mark a few times... Mine is an auto though. And I have to work into that much speed, I have to hammer and let off and then hammer it and let off til i get up to 100 mph, cuz if i just hold it to the floor, it gets way too hot. That 366 spring sure helps!!!

Could you use a surge tank to displace the coolant during high flow runs?

Mine is rock solid at 90 MPH with no vibration, the freeways here will flow at 80 MPH and I can steer with 2 fingers on the wheel and locked with my knee.

Mine is pretty smooth at speed. I wrapped the speedo all the way around to the peg, so I am only guessing on my top speed. Need GPS! Need Z rated BFG's!

Gotta tell ya though, going 100 in 4th makes my truck sound like an old Daytona race car thundering down the strip. It's like a drug. It's not like my Hemi Road Runner, but the feeling isn't that far off I gotta tell you.

I have seen 115 on a gps, and going off that and how long it took to come down off pegged, I have been to what I figured to be 125-130. At that speed vibrations disappear as the truck just kinda floats along...
