Everyone is getting confused because it's a glide. Just because it only has two gears doesn't make it any different in high gear than your 4l60 or 4l80 or th400...still 1:1 ratio.

Plus it probably has a badass converter that really couples in high gear also that helps with the MPH

Oo ok... If the gearing and rpm was there then there's not a lot to argue with

Mph in Edinburg raceway is sometimes wrong.
I've traped 166mph on an 11s truck. And some customers have called me to say they traped ridiculous mph. Idk if this was your case, but I do know track mileage is sometimes wrong.
Besides all that.. Truck is Damn fast. Congrats.

i say they better check there mph clock at that track

Going off the facts provided by Flaco.

7,600 RPM / 3.42 Rear end gear ratio = 2,222.2222 RPM
29.5 height of rear tire X 3.1415 = 92.6769 Inches per revolution
2,222.2222 X 92.6769 = 205,948.6646 Inches per minute
205,948.6646 / 12(inches in 1 foot) = 17,162.3887 Feet per minute
17,162.3887 / 5,280(feet in 1 mile) = 3.2504 Miles per minute

3.2504 X 60(number of minutes in 1 hour) = 195.024 Miles per hour

That is with 100% converter efficiency.

90% converter efficiency = 175.5216 Miles per hour.

Still a lot of variables unaccounted. Converter efficiency and tire growth is a couple.

Do you lock your converter, Flaco? You never mentioned what IC you run either...not secret info, is it? lol

If I was betting, I bet he has a badass protorque or ptc converter in that thing that has less than 5% slip. Just my guess

Small question, do you guys define the torque converter slip percent as (engine rpm - trans input)/engine rpm?
