if my ghetto math is right im around 130-132 on a setup that is suposedly IMPOSSIBLE
factory from the tank to the injectors, no cam, no nitrous, ecsb pig at full weight+full tank and system. and had no problems getting there. it had more left in it...
on a side note, 01Thunder is lucky that his air dam didnt fly out of the bed of my truck on my way to drop it off

Show me something in digital numbers - I wanna see what the REAL speed is - not what a POS gauge is telling you. The gauge is wrong - watch the vid again and you can see that GM gauges always read faster than actual speed.
But that's pretty bawlsy taking cell phone pics at 120

If you want to know how fast you are going, use a GPS unit. It'll tell you exactly how fast you are going.
I pegged the HPP3 rev limiter at 128 mph on my Av several times before I installed the Radix. It would be a whole lot easier to get there now but I haven't pushed it over about 105 yet.
