Doing 130 in an '86 Silverado...
... km/h that is. My truck would probably fall apart if it hit 130 mph.
So, I haven't been on in a while and I haven't posted anything either, but I thought I'd share this...

My 454SS has gone 147mph on GPS. I did it once & only once.
It has been to 125mph many times (GPS). It is like night/day (the 22mph difference). At 147 it feels like the cab is peeling apart. Tons of wind noise, but still rather stable. Of course it [the truck] has been heavily modified to do so.
These things weren't made to do those speeds.

There's still something about pegging it, and also knowing that you're going faster than what it says. One day, I have no idea when, I hope to do a complete frame off rebuild. That means that the speedo could be replaced with one that goes past 85, and you know what that means... or I could keep it at 85 so it's even more of sleeper.
