is there a computer generated "ceiling" on a 86 GXL
i know there prolly isnt, but why would i top out a 110?
i got to 110 pretty fast, but then i was still flooring it and it just stayed there for like 3 minutes, then i had to slow down cause of the road, but its kinda annoying when a v6 rustang passes you at 100 and i couldnt catch him

I NEED TO AVENGE MY 7!!!!

 

There is no "ceiling" you may need to give your car a tune up and if your car is stock like the sig says then you have some work to do before you get up there...

 

my 90' NA stocker can do 110 with no prob! what are you talking about! i just raced a late model v-6 mustang the other day too, he couldnt catch me!

 

i DONT KNOW!!
it sucks, but i prolly do need a full tune up, so
i can do 110, but i cant get over that

 

were you in 5th........downshift to 4th and say hello to about 125 for short periods of time.

hmm, check for clogged cats!!

 

I got my 88 vert to 130 on a very cold night going "slightly" downhill, but she stayed there when the road leveled out .

yeah, i was in 4th till about 90, then shifted, i dont know, but the cats arent plugged cause they had a close encounter with a steel pipe

 

check your cmpression. how many miles are on your car?

 

You gotta wind that sucker out. 5th gear is going to kill your acceleration, so you need to be as deep into your power range as possible before going to 5th. Shift it at redline, and you'll see better results.

Now, WTF are you doing at 110 on public streets? Take this **** to the track!

I would say the same thing .... but he lives in Iowa nothing to run in to but cows around there.

 

90!?!?!? dood you can get up to 110 easily in 4th gear....bring that **** up as far as you can, then shift to 5th, like Silk said, 5th has hardly any acceleration so you've got to get as much out of 4th as you can...

 

double post...

 

i can hit 100+ in 3rd before i have to go to 4th.

sorry silk, i know i should keep it at the track...but it's just too tempting on an open road late at night.

**** I would shift to 4th at about 85mph in 3rd in my 89 GTU

 

**** I would shift to 4th at about 85mph in 3rd in my 89 GTU, maybe your speedo is sticking

 

check your injectors! try again shifting at redline in 4th. 5th gear sucks for acceleration. in even forced induction vehicles.

 

oh my god yall are shifting way to ******* early i can hold out till 125 in 4th gear that is at redline then shift to 5th (farthest i went was 135 but i have a slipping clutch so it doesnt go anywhere after that) i know my car will hit 145 easy maybe 150 my friends 86 na use to see the 150 mark all the time....damn

 

I have Hit 140+ on flat roads around here no prob.

 

145 in my N/A, to much traffic

 

".... but he lives in Iowa nothing to run in to but cows around there."

Don't you mean corn fields??

 

I hit 110 in fourth gear at 6000 rpms. Then I started going up a small hill and had to slow down because I caught up to my friend. But somewhere around 105 the car started to shake like a mother, more than I have ever felt in any vehicle. It was a very solid shake through out the whole car. Does any one have a remedy for that.

Thanks

yeah, and those damn tractors
i met one goin 100 that had dual tires on the back and was taking up the whiole road
good thing i replaced my brake pads

 

i wouldnt call iowa highways busy public roads
