Default 99 Camaro SS at Texas Mile (Oct 2013)



My camaro at the Texas Mile Oct 2013. My best run of the day was 151.9 mph. I hit the rev limiter in 5th gear after that with 4.10 gears. Can anyone calculate the speed I could make with 3.42 o2 3.23 gears?

It can easily be calculated how fast you could theoretically go with a particular final gear, but the Hp of your engine will determine if you can actually get there.

Yep

In 1994 John Ligenfelter got his 383 package (440-450 advertised hp) to hit
194+ for a magazine article with a taped up front end, 255 tires (decreased rolling resistence from a 275) and a 3.23 rear gear. Speed was attained in 5th gear.
