I am the one that the driveshaft exploded at 132 MPH on a dyno. The shafts are only rated to 115 MPH. It makles one H**L of a noise when it goes.

Fazm, Do you have a 4.0? What in the heck have you done to get that kind of horse power?

The fastest I've gone, N/A, tune, and stock driveshaft, is 105 and she still wanted more pull more. I really don't see the need to go beyond that, though a new driveshaft is in order for my mod after duals simply for safety and the fact that fellas on here say that it makes for smoother ride.

I read somewhere on here 142mph but I'm curious if that is terminal velocity or if it'll keep going. I wouldn't want to over-wind the engine and blow it up. I'm thinking if I ever took the governor off I might not turn it off and just set it higher maybe to 140mph or less depending on what I want. 115 is fast enough, but it's easy to get it up there and having the engine wind down is kinda silly. I heard there's places in nevada you can go whatever speed you want.
