OK everybody, lets have your best guess for his MPH..

I say 143 ........

 

[SRT10VENOMOUS]

well if ya have ran Best time to date - 11.90 - 120.66 and thats 1/4 of a mile Now were dealing with 4x that length im gonna go with 160

 

[EMT/SRT]

Just giver hell!!!!!!!!!!:rock: :rock: :rock:

 

[Tooloe]

Well since ur truck is an 05 your going have to get into fifth gear....an that's a dog

 

[fastbill]

nice, a mile, balls out? l'd bet he lifts at around 160 or so before the end...l'm going to wait to do my bottom end before trying any top speed runs like that, but l've been to 150, and l'd have to think it was well before a mile. Are you lowered at all, or stock height?

 

[kennygene]

I am going to guess more like 140 or so. You're covering ground really fast after the quarter.

I'm looking forward to it Mickey.

I'd say you'll run 153. NANA ran 147 naturally aspirated and his truck was lowered to a couple inches off the ground. You definitely have the horsepower to overcome aerodynamics but how much and how fast. Like someone said, you'll be covering a lot of ground very quickly after the quarter. It wll probably be all over in 24 seconds.

Now this sounds like a fun event, let us know (in pictures and video) how it works out

i'll go with 168:rock:

 

[viperhauler]

i think 163....

mine hit the rev limiter in 5th at 164....so....if you make it that far and have to shift into 6th it'll probably be worthless....

I was told that I will have several attempts to improve!I will be trying different shift points and am considering taping up.I never took fifth gear to the limit,I usually grab sixth at around 155 and it carried me to aprox 170+.(about 1/2 inch past the 160 mark).

The only lifting will be after the mile or after the KABOOM!!!
And yes to 150 comes pretty damn quick!!
I am lowered 3 inches and plan on some minor aero mods for the final runs,(if I last)...

Im guessing 159........
