Raptor Top Speed Update

[Squatting Dog]

well part of the reason at least for me... How can you "safely" push your Raptor unless you know where the limits are at?

Just got back Friday from a 3 day 1550 mile trip to the ranch in NM then up to Santa Fe to testify in a OCD Hearing about a SWD (SWD 380) well illegally permitted then back home. Anyway---on flat and level before I ran out of time and oncoming traffic prevented me from letting it run higher made it to 130 GPS verified.

My truck is stock save for top perch, 5 star programmer, CAI, exhaust mod, RPG National HD springs, larger finned tranny pan, all Amsoil fluids and 37 in Geolander II tires with 18in wheels. The headwind was about 290 degrees at 15mph. Was still gaining a little and smooth as glass on this smooth road before shut down. Tranny temp during the whole trip never got over 210 even during this high speed run. Most of the time sat between 195 and 197 except when going up the long grades in the mountains approaching Santa Fe.

MPG average was 13.1

I can't believe you didn't go 130MPH off road like everyone else I've had my Raptor up to 162MPH off road - that was fun!

130 on road?
160 off road?

and the need to discuss AMSOIL makes this thread USELESS

what kind of runway would you estimate it took you to get up to that speed?

I did 127 in less than a mile starting at 51 mph

 

[Michaelkgorski]

I've done 132. Then I slowed down. Lol. I was like ok! Satisfied. Done.
