4k shutoff 2 Reply #18 – June 11, 2009, 01:34:17 PM Quote from: FordTruckFreeek;277028I will say this...One night after work, I ran my white '88 Bird up to 127 coming down an on-ramp onto a 4 lane.The speedo had the W2 mod, and it was a 3.8 car....as far as actually going that fast...who's to say.I can concur. Before I did my 5.0 swap I was trying to chase down a guy in a TC so I could buy it. I was out on my local highway with my foot to the floor. I had the W2 mod done as well, and when I looked down it saw 126. I don't know if by that point the stock TC was letting off or topping out but I started to gain on him, not fast, but inches at a time. We eventually pulled over and he told me he just bought it, was simply going to beat the hell out of it and s it. I haven't seen it again, hope he didn't wreck it. Quote Selected

I saw it on Mythbusters and figured what the hell hey i think i remember that episode... didnt it explode into a billion pieces as it hit the ramp or as they hit the fire button on the jato's?wasnt it the myth where a guy put a jato on his car and the car supposedly flew off the road and decentegrated to almost nothing as it hit a mountain and they were trying to launch a rocket driven car off a ramp and try to hit a mountain? although i sort of remember they just did a speed run with a jato type thing.the best "JATO" thing ive seen was on top gear when they shot a mini cooper off a long jump ski ramp. that was intense.. but the stig jumped the ramp with a snow mobil was even more crazy.

The first episode they did they bolted a JATO to the top of a 60's Impala. They didn't use a ramp but they got in up to about 250 mph on flat ground:hick: Later on they tried it again with a ramp and a much bigger rocket on a 60's Impala. That's when they blew up the car Quote Selected

4k shutoff 2 Reply #26 – June 11, 2009, 10:38:30 PM suposedly the whole rocket thing happened in my neck of the woods. My Dad told me the story when I was about 12. I'll have to ask him about it.To the OP.....I don't think you understand anything that anyone is trying to tell you. In order to give your car more power, you will need to improve airflow. These cars have 86 truck EFI parts. Trucks need torque down low so that they will be able to pull trailiers, hardly the thing you need to hit 110+ mph. I have had an 86 cougar over 100mph, and it is down right scary. I had the stock speedo with the W2 mod and had it read 134 mph. Just because it read this, dosen't mean that is what it did. I have driven my 87 bird at 55mph and had a "your speed is..." sign tell me I was doing 45mph, and the same month been driving in a 35mph zone and the sign told me I was doing 35. Either my speedo isn't reading right, or my wheels lost 12" worth of rubber off of the p195/60/R14's.To make your car rev over 4k, put an H.O. cam in it. Put duel's on it, 2.5 inch or bigger, upgrade your intake and throw some gt40's on there because there the same price as e7's, and almost as avalible. Upgrade your computer and swap in 19lb injecters and an H.O cam. The stock S.O. motor can make power, if you take off all the parts that make it an S.O... Including all the truck parts.And BTW, the stock S.O. will not make any more power after 4k. It probably peaks near 2k if I recall correctly. If you don't belive me, hold your car is 1st next time you get on the freeway. My car will not neutral rev to 4k. I can actually start my car left in park, and floor it. According to my digital RPM gauge, its only hitting 3600. That is what 23 years and 147,000 miles does to a motor. I can barely spin my skinny tires in gravel and can't even power brake because my rear brakes are stronger then the engine.Any by the way, there is no logical reason to be going over 100mph with suspension parts that haven't even been tightened in the last 20 years. The front ends of these cars get very light. You ECU "should" cut fuel at 6200 rpm. The stock digi dash will read redline over 5k if I remember right. I am going back about 6 years so I might be alittle off on that.Take your tach off of the 4 cylinder setting. Quote Selected
