 Subject: 01 R.C top speed
IP: Logged
Message:
OK here it is. I just took the truck on the highway and burned almost $15.00 in gas in an hour but got the info I wanted.
The truck. R.C 4.7 Dak sport 3.92 gears 5 speed.
Top speed was around 117mph @ 5000 RPM's in 4th.
Top speed was the same 117mph @ only 3800 RPM's in 5th.
For the record I passed no vehicles doing these stupid speeds. The 117mph was the point at which the computer shut me down. I was still gaining speed nicely on the flat when shut down at 3,800 RPM's. With computer upgrade and 5000+ RPM's in 5th you should be good for around 135-145 mph. Just a guess. If someone wants to crunch the numbers please post the results.
I won't do it again untill a computer mod but had to know the limits. When I get the computer done I will get street V rated tires before trying for 5,000 rpms in 5th.

the aero dynamics of the truck might stop you before you get to 5000 rpm's

I think you are right on that front Eric.
I hear that you can get to 150 MPH with X amount of hp but to get another 50 mph you need to double your the HP it took to get to 150 MPH or something along those lines. That's why 200 MPH was such a huge deal when that special Corvette (sorry don't remeber the name, but it's turbo charged.) broke that barrier on the track. It took a huge amount of horse power to get an extra 20 miles an hour to break through. Atmosphere resistance is the the only real factor that limits speed. It's amazing how quick some very box shaped vehicles get up to speed. The first 100mph atmosperic resistance is negligable.

I just saw the new motortrend today, the twin turbo viper (833 hp) went 193 mph...oh that was in 1 mile. they said guessing the top speed would be about 230. and it still has A/C. and street legal.

I did 110 in my 2000 RC V6 auto. That was with only a Flowmaster and an Airaid. Was still climbing but I chickened out. I WAS passing people on a highway here in England, chasing a VW Golf that flew past me when I was doing barely over the speed limit. Figured, if there was a cop, he'ld get the car before he got me.

The Sledgehammer has A/C,just roll the windows down at 250mph and feel how cool it gets!The Sledgehammer was street legal but at $255,000 not many could afford it.The next fastest car would be the Mclaren(sp?)F1 and as for street legal there aren't many places to run a vehicle up 200mph anyways so save it for the tracks boys.

Mike, what's so fishy about doing 110mph with a mildly modified 2000 V6?? I did 117 mph @ 3,800 RPM's and was climbing when the computer said sorry to fast. Granted it's a V8 but it has 3.92 gears. His V6 has 3.55's which is even better for maximum top speed and with his mod's should be at around 190hp or slightly more.

Exaust and intake should be good for around 15hp. That would give you 190 at the crank. I had no bed cover either when I made my run. We all beleive you. Mike's just having one of his moments.

Calloway has air, and originally it had 1000, HP but they found that it was too much for the street so they detuned it to 880. They also drove it a number of hours over the road to get it to the test track where it did 254.7 MPH.

ok so it does 255 mph (which you could never use) ITS STILL A VETT!! with a ugly ass body kit!! like 880 hp is much more streetable than 1000. how reliable is this car?! i know for damn sure it wont pass smog here in cali. for that much money you could buy a bently red lable. I'd rather have the ferrari 550. hmmm lets see... top of the line ferrari, or a chevy...yea, give me the ferrari

If you want to discuss vetts, go elsewhere. I saw a dragster that had a radically modified 1600cc VW beetle engine and a 2 speed powerglide that did 7 sec quarter miles. Whoopty shit! Anything can be made fast but we are here to discuss DODGE DAKOTAS and exchange knowledge with fellow Dakota owners! :)

Jeffster, What info are you looking for about my Mike Leach PCM ??? Quickly, it cost $400 plus shipping from LA, generated around 10 hp to the rear wheels, 10 Ft lBS TQ to rear wheels, advanced the timing 5 degrees, increased fuel curve by 5%, set the speed limiter from 113 to 255 mph ;), and raised the rev limiter to 6500 (not that it will go there anyway :) Oh, and they put an AC lockout switch in, that will turn the AC off under WOT .
