RPM's at 100?
I think Racedvl was asking...
 I know it isn't quite 100 MPH, but the angle of the cam was wrong too. It was right at 95, maybe 94 MPH. ------------------ '69 G.M.C. 350/350.

yup, you gotta love those tall gears out on the hyway......still think about stickin the 3.40s back in from time to time. 4.10s are ok on a short run & fun to play with,but really buzz the motor..........69

Lol, you are a brave man longhornmail. I had mine up to about 100 the other day, passing a late model Mustang GT. Sure, he could have proably smoked me, but i don't have a top speed limiter
 . My truck kinda runs out of steam at about 100, even with 3.07 gears, its not very aerodynamical, and i have a cam with the most tourqe from 2000-3000 RPM. It will buzz from 60-80 in a heartbeat though .------------------ Lucas Willow Springs, Missouri "Another proud owner of one of the coolest trucks ever built" drop_shift@hotmail.com My Daily-Driver: '72 Chevy LWB Custom/10.

I have had mine up to what would have been 110-105 on the speedometer, and it still had a little bit left in it. If i roll up my windows, get a nice straight flat stretch, i might be able to hit 120. I just really don't want to get a $300 ticket :S.

chop the top, & lay the sheild back.....makes a pretty big diff on wind drag. im topped @ about 126 on the 4.10 gears,but she would run 140 with 3.40 gears........sometimes you have to wonder if a roll cage would be a good idea......69

Let's see, with my current setup (4.57s) I should be able to hit 100 if I can just get the motor to turn 20,000 RPM.....

When I was in high school I had a SD455 Trans Am with Ram Air IV heads , a goodly sized cam and some other goodies . I lived in Cincinnati and went to school in Redding. Its about a 20 mile trip or so. Daily test and tune was to see how fast I could get it on those beautifull cop free interstates. My persoanl best was 162 MPH . 2.73 gears at 6400 rpm . Woohoo. How I am still alive I don't know.

I once had a 69 shorty step side on the top end floored and barely doing 90. It had the high power 6 cylinder, with the infamous 3 on the tree. I was racing an 81 citation.
My big block longhorn has seen 85, but I always chicken out. The motor is always screaming. It is faster than my brother in laws 65 ford, although he only has a 352.

The SD455 was my first car. My parents divored in 1976 and my dad went out and bought one. typical mid life crisis crap. A year later they realized they were idiots and remarried each other. It got passed along to me in 1979 and I promptly blew the engine requiring a complete rebuild and beefing up. Even with the 2.73 rear end gears that thing would boil the tires as long as I kept on the gas. I jumped it 7 feet in the air, did miles of posi burnouts and more donuts than i can remember on those crappy uniroyals. I did a pretty good sideways parallel parking job too. What was my dad thinking when he gave me that car? It wasnt the quickest car I have ever owned but it sure was the fastest. When it comes time for my midlife crisis I hope I get another one. That is if my wife lets me.
