Dave, last I remember he was running Toyo A/T 2's. So likely he was hoping for the best. Oh well, I "hope for the best" occasionally myself.
Good to hear from you Jason, glad the truck is running well for you.

Holy top end batman! If I read the speedo and tach right, that put you north of 140 MPH! :woott:
143 by the GPS

What tires are you running that have that kind of speed rating? Or are you just hoping for the best :eek:
Jus hopin for the best Dave...
Sometimes ya gotta live a little
;)


Shit.. his worse days are better than my best days... Lol
You sure about that?
Nobody has a perfect life
:hug:

Glad to hear all is well, Jason.
Thanks. Mitch, hope all is good in your hood as well
:)
Nitto 420s are rated for 149 mph
I wish they had a size for me, they're great tires!

Yup, Toyo AT2's 285/75r18's
They're 10ply tho :D
I've only gone that fast one other time...
Thanks Dan

Going big on the top end is a good way to melt pistons. Good luck with the new engine
Well, last time I did that it took allot longer to get there and my EGT's were +1800* and that was after I let of the throttle. I wasn't looking during...so I can imagine the EGT was closer to 2000*
:eek:

This time I didn't even see 1400*
Thanks for the cautionary advise tho, we'll see how long it lasts and I'll expect an "I told ya so"
:rolleyes:

My lbz Pistons were seeing 1900* in the 1/4 mile before they let go :( I looked at the gauge and literally said "hollllly shit" but kept in it... Ha

When I saw my gauge all I could do was imagine the pistons glowing and breaking down...
I was like , aw fug...
It was a year an a half later the #8 let go while on the freeway with the cruise set at 63mph:confused:

Go figure...
:eek:

I would say it is safe to say never set your cuise at 63, it's a good way to melt a piston:roflmao:
Are we going to see you on the 13? I hope you're there :woott:
