Ok then LOL. I think that's my problem. It felt like I was going way faster than 100 but I thought the needle goes past 100.

Yea, I bet if you watch the RPMs keep climbing and you do go faster, just cant see it. Maybe get urself an escalade cluster, its plug and play, has a trans temp and a 120 speedo.

that's odd though, the LS1 and 6.0 should power right over 100 easily. F-body can go 160+

more weight and its a brick, but i agree with the power you guys are putting down it should! Im thinking about one of the escy or SS clusters, mainly for the trans temp though, i already have a 120 speedo!
