Thought it was 117 mph??
With a BD RAD (Speed Controller) I have hit 120 at an NHRA track with a 1/2 mile run out. Just stayed in it past the 1/4 mile pole. Was still pulling well but I thought of tires and backed down!
I'm sure mine is no different than others, in that at higher speeds... say above 90 mph... my CTD is a very stable platform!
Just restrict trying it to the track..... and solo only!

I've had my dually up to 180 km/h (110 mph), at that point its was a pretty hairy ride, they really bounce at speed. That the only time I've had either of my trucks up that fast. That was when I was testing how hot the truck would get with the new turbo. HRVP, 80hp sticks and a Smarty wouldn't break 1300 degrees with the 62/71.

I suspect a Dually is a whole different animal at that speed .... but I revised my post above to read "my CTD is is a very stable platform"!
And I like reporting kilometers better! I can say I tried going 200 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

114 mph here..... Pulls like a freight train til 114 then smacks the speed limiter. As for safety, my truck drives good and I keep good tires/brakes so its not uncommon at all for me to pin the ears back on my ole ride and cruise @ 90+mph although cruise only sets to 85mph....Oh and I have little respect for authority so I dont really care what the cops say. Some typical harassment from a little man with a gun and a badge and a $250 ticket is bout all they can do about it as long as I stay within 25mph of posted speed limit....nothing that really teaches me a lesson.

That being said, on a test track with my new injectors I hit 115 fairly easy, looked down and imagine that I'm going pretty fast.

I had a 96 w/ v10 and auto that went 110 and thats all it had. It was a little tired at 180k. My 99 I don't think I've gone past 100, and it got there a lot quicker than I thought it would.
