148 mph in the 04 Silverado! Here is the video (seems a little slow because it short shifted): http://video.performancetrucks.net/s...56008e62d8.htm

Of course these were both done on a closed course not the street

Forgot about the windows popping out.
140 plus would have been quieter with the top down.

120-130. My truck speedo maxes out at 120 and it was still pulling with about 2000rpm left on the 4th gear(4 speed auto). Only done this a couple times, once with nitrous and a couple without.
