A good question. What does a Duramax get going those speeds??

Hoping for 208mph tomorrow!!


It was only a joke But :))) it is interesting and figuring the gearing and actual RPM at them speeds I'd gather to say that it's poor (10 or less) but way better than a truck geared with 373's. :D

I haven't had a chance to check the cameras yet. So I don't know.

Pat says the fuel gauge never moved.

I'm thinking that the boot might have blew apart and that is why it came off, seeing as though kat said something about it being the oldest one on the truck. but what do I know

TX of course
Where can a I go to see the the current record and classes? I search land speed but get lots of BS.

I have a feeling that it doesn't even get 1 MPG.

The boot did not slip off at all, it held on so well that it put a hole at least the size of a golfball in the boot:spit: did you ever get the datalog to see how much boost it made? The 197@ 2 1/4 miles is especially impressive considering the truck really did not start working hard till around the 1 mile mark. He just eased into it kind of...
It was cool to be there, thanks for the hospitality! I think you can make 218...:D
