scorp508, I need you....
...to answer this question.
How whas your old superram setup on the highway? 60-140mph pulls? And when did it stop pulling, at what speed 150/160? I just need som inspiration during my topend rebuild.
Thanks for your time.. :)

80mph to 110mph takes 5 seconds, 70mph to 140mph took 1/2 a mile to complete. I never found where it stopped pulling as I either ran out of room or came up on traffic. 168 was the highest I could get it before having to let off and it was still clicking off MPH.

SR Flat Pull
Not to take the spotlight off you Scorp....
LPE quoted my combo's top speed at 192. So you're right on the money.
The SR-219 combo does have a pull from hell. Just feathering the gas, you use the torque to get to triple digits in no time!! :crazy: :eek:

niiice numbers scorp!
How did the car feel in that speed?
You think a miniram setup would be even faster 80-140 etc. Due to the intake design?

I shift at 6000 to drop me back into the powerband so that I'm never putting less than 300hp to the wheels on a top end run. Shifting there puts me right at peak torque in the next gear also. I rely on the torque to push the car hard and then when the torque starts to fall the HP has come up to peak value to KEEP the car moving hard.

Re: (devilfish)
Right, were you getting a funny feeling that the front of the car wasn't firmly attached? I've only been up to 132, and the car felt very strange at that speed.
