hey BEVIS,
im with u and unit, lol............my mods back when this happen was , bold rear tires, broken upper control arm on the right, my exhaust was broken of on the left side from the H pipe down(( after i bottomed out 1 day)) the exhaust left over was HOLY everywhere....lol.....a leaking header gasket, a leaking manifold gasket ,timing set at 14 , short belt, pullies, tranny on its way to a grave yard, 175,000 on the clock , and 2.73 rear stock ...lolol

I was on my way to Philly on the turnpike exit 14 , when i started to toy with an IROCK..hahaha.....then we went at it !!!!
i also agree that 4TH gear is the gear to use when goin for top speed in 4 th gear i REDLINED the motor at about 5600 RPM,
now i dont kno what speed i was goin cuz all i seen was the needle go past the 85 mph mark and it conitinued till well past the vertical point.........as a mater a fact it was close back to 0mph
after all said and done we made it to philly in 38 MIN...thats 120 MILES , so do the math....but the guy in the IROC said that his clock read well past the 145 MPH mark.....is was fun ....Sun night at 1 am.
