Win a Cam
I am doing to do a top speed run next week at a local airport. The airstrip is 6100 feet long, I am giving away a LPE Gt2-3 Blower cam to the person who can guess the top speed. The camshaft has 1000 miles on It. The car has a 3.73:1 gear ratio. 382c.i. motor, Twin Turbo.

Re: Win a Cam (nfshotrod)
192 mph this is given that you are using a 345/30/18 and a 6800 rev limiter on a MN6 transmission. You should be able to get past the 1320 in the 130's.

174 MPH, 
Good luck,Rubber side down,

Edit: Sounds like you're doing the equivalent of a standing start mile, 5280 ft + shut down= approx 6100 ft.
If you could get them to let you come careening
:shocked: in off the highway so that you would hit the starting line at 70 to 80, and you are lowered, some kind of belly pan, and duct taped, maybe that would work for a little higher terminal speed! 
But, I think I'll stick with my original 174 MPH prediction.
Check with Jbsblownc5 for some of his magic elixor-might be needed on that last quarter mile!
Best of luck, and I hope my estimate is 20 MPH low!
