Barely 2200 rpm at almost 90mph? No wonder the 1/2 tons get such "good" milage. I'm spinning almost 3K at 80. Cool Pic. 100K at 100mph would be a good one.

"If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious ****."

Me too. What gears do you have thunder550? I don't think my truck can do that and I have a 3.42 rear. Maybe I should try it right now. Cool pic.

I thought it was a 8.8 at 88,888 mph at a really special drag strip.
