Or as I like to call them, Driving Awards.

As for me, I have a 1996 k1500 with a 5.7 vortec and over 100... as I hit 100 I was nearnig 3800 rpms on the tach, so I know its got a lot more. Rumor is that these trucks are good to 130+ stock. I will not find out because my mud tires are only rated to 89mph.

In the 1966 with a 600 horse 383 stroker and TH-350 tranny with 3.73's, I passed a camaro while he was doing 150 the other day, and I still had plenty left. I'm guessing around 165-170mph tops on that truck.

130 in my 440, 4 speed Challenger, 151 in the Olds when it just had the 455, 119 in the truck. Lost a buddy in a car crash last summer though, so that kinda took the wind out of my sails for top speed cruising.

I have logged my 05 5.3 at 147 while playing with a 96 Vette on an empty interstate. Took a while to get there and the truck really was suprisingly smooth. I love my 3.23's, 147mph and 22mpg. Think I will have my drive shaft balanced before trying that again, though.
The Vette I have had 165 and it just didn't feel safe anymore, traffic and the 4.10s think I was about done anyway.
