supposedly, there is some website with a formula to calculate your mph by taking into consideration your gears, rpms, and tire size or something like that. Or....you could be like me and use a handheld GPS

With the new stall in it stays up in the 5500-6500 range and barries the 120 in a matter of seconds and is still pulling pretty fast. I still havent put the sway bars back in since my last trip to the track and it feels BAD over 120. Before 145-150 wasnt that bad.

130 in my avalanche, it was getting a little too floaty for my tastes. The truck was still pulling like it was just getting started. Parish said it- turbo's rock!!

I had the work truck up to 135 while racing my buddies lightning. I started thinking about all the suspension components that could come loose due to 10yrs and 200,000 miles so I let out of it. It was still climbing.

In the '02 I have been 140 on the road , but if you count my recent dyno pulls-150 in 3rd !

5200 RPM's in OD 29" tires and 4.10's. It was still pulling pretty good, but I ran in to traffic. Any idea as to what mph this might have been?
edit- according to a calculator using the gear ratios in an a4 from an fbody 29 in tire and 4.10's. I was going 156 mph I just don't believe that!

I don't think I've been over 140mph in the truck. I just know I had the needle pegged for a LONG tgime once. Other than that I get to 120mph pretty damn quick

I topped mine out in 3rd gear 6,000RPM on my 32 inch tires with 4.10 gears. I swear I was doing over 128 but it didn't shut off. I was going fast enough to have air coming in both my side windows.
