Default Hit the limiter tonight...

Well on my way home tonight and was bored so I wanted to see if I could roll it into O.D. at WOT. Well hadn't tried it since I put the DynoMax on it so what the hell I nailed it after coming over the river bridge and back up the hill. Didn't even take a mile and she rolls into O.D. at about 5500-5600 r's . I also noticed it wasn't gaining any when it went to O.D. and then it started to fall off from 3800 r's to about 3600 r's or so. Then I remembered that Allen said he set the limiter at 135 and he also said that he never had anyone hit the limiter before. Well he has now !!! I just wanted to say that w/ the Gibson I was never able to roll it into O.D. even after about 2-3 miles. So this DynoMax must really let it breathe as it didn't take long and the RPM's climb alot faster than w/ the Gibson POS !!! Just thought I'd share it w/ yall...Zed

My speedo is off because of the 4.10s, its tuned for 3.42s. I hit the limiter as well, only problem is I wasn't going as fast as my truck thought I was. New tune should be in tomorrow, so I dunno if I will be hitting the limiter anymore. Come to think of it, I hit the limiter when I flew past that Supra out at Wall the other night JOW .

Yeah it's the Ultra-Flow or Race Magnum. It took some getting use to after the quiet Gibson going down the highway at certain speeds cause it has some drone to it. But thats because it's dumped right before the axle and reverbing off the pavement. I have a bridge that I go over to and from work that has a grate at the top and everytime I go over the grate it gets almost dead silent like I shut the truck off or something. The sound has a deep aggressive sound at least thats what my co-workers say. It's pretty calm until you step on it and then it sounds like I'm driving one of those SS Camaros if you ever heard one before. The best sound to me is the accel and when she shifts it has a real throaty sound is the best that I can describe it. Hope that helps...Zed

DynoMax also have the Super Turbos if noise is a concern suppose to have a mellow tone to them...Zed
