Well we didnt quite get to 150.. it was still pulling but my buddy let out of it.. I have been in a few cars that we've done 140+ in and surprisingly the TBSS feels as good if not better.. It feels a whole lot better than a 350z that for sure..

That is scary fast, I would be too afraid of getting busted to try to go that fast, granted there is no way for my truck to go that fast anyway.

I've had mine close to that speed (speedo only goes to 140) and I didn't think it was all that bad either, considering what it is (a brick).

 

I just wonder what would have happened if it had actually shifted into 4th gear. Mine won't go into 4th at WOT at those speeds, no matter what I do.

It is in the tune.. we made his shift to 4th... It was cutting the fuel though as you can see the tps is at 71% but he had the pedal burried.. so.. weve got more to work on..

I figured as much...I saw the TPS, then noticed the fact that the RPM is WAY low for that speed in 3rd gear.

aren't you nervous? it's too fast

 

If you know the road, there's nobody on it, and no way for something to get in your way....It's not too fast if the only person you're endangering is youself.

Here is mine at the end of a 1/4 mile run at the drag strip. I rarely take it higher than 90 on the street. :cheers: EDIT: This is in a Silverado SS.

Hi, My name is Mark, I have an 06' tb ss. I have a story for you. My girlfriend and I were going down the road when a ninja 750 flicked us the bird, for no reason, wasn't tailgating him, didn't know him, but I did know one thing, I'm going to chase him. He turned left and so did I. It was a long road so I guess he figured he would flick me off and be gone, nope don't think so. I punched the gas and never let off. He was running the gears and so was I. My girlfriend was hitting my right arm and saying your going to wreck him stop it. Nothing was giving me more pleasure than seeing this guy looking over his shoulder, then under his left arm wandering why the hell is there an suv on my ass. The speedometer was buried 145 and the power was still setting me back in the seat. My girlfriend still yelling stop just let him go, then I noticed his arm letting up on the throttle, I was only 5 feet from his bike, I wipped it to the left and kicked it down he re-punched the throttle and now we were side by side, It gave me the chance to flick him off. I couldn't get around him but guess what he couldn't get away from me either. I then let off and let him go I'm sure he was puzzled and maybe he'll think twice about these ss suv's. I don't know what the top speed is on these but the speedo was buried for 3 miles, I didn't have a chance to look at the tach, I was a little busy.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      There are no stickers in your glovebox?

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
