Performance 5.4

[BakerEdition]

O.k. got rid of the wife for the afternoon and decided to take the Expo on a run by Nashville Super Speedway...nice stretch of 6 lane road and no population....I wanted to check 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile time with the Edge...I will video it next time...according to the 0 to 60 run she did 8.6 seconds and in the 1/4 mile 16.2 its got a stumble in it, in first gear about mid way through the band, feels like its not getting fuel or somethings holding it back and as RPM's build it goes away...no problem in 2-3 or 3-4....top speed was 133 mph and it felt glued to the road....first time I ever pushed it that hard....Thoughts anyone????

first thoughts... 133 in an full size!!!!! opps I just crapped my pants

Nice! The stumble could be a number of things. The easiest way to figure it out is to use a data logger. There a couple nice ones for i and android.

Mine feels like it has a hole in it at about 2k rpm in first also. Is that common. And yeah 133 mph? Whoa bud.

 

[tallsville]

133 sounds like fun. cant wait for the nex trip to vegas, so i can open it up and see what mine can do. did 115 in my 97.

Stop throwing a boulder down the track

mine too. right before 2k. then after its all good. idk what it is. only happens when my engine is hot. but damn do i love this cold air!

but holy crap! 133?! did you see the devil and say "screw it" its me or its him? haha

 

[BakerEdition]

You guys are funny....just some open freeway here in redneck country....took the SS out the other day and took that to 140mph.....believe it or not I felt more safe in the truck at the 133 as oppose the SS....

 

[tallsville]

panda its wide open til you see god then brake. if its the devil then its just a race to see who brakes first.

so is 133 where the truck gave up? was it the 5200rpm rev limiter? what stopped the "boulder" from going faster.

 

[masterhacker]

Hey baker, I heard rumors you have full length headers on your truck is there any truth to this?

Also 133 is pretty damn fast for a pig of a vehicle like a expy

 

[superexpy]

I passed my buddy and he was doing 135 in his M3 (not sure how fast i was going) and mine to felt glued to the road but mine is lowered and not stock...

 

[2000eb]

bump...

 

[ZombieSoldier]

dear lord! 100mph was pushing it in ours with 305 Nittos on 22" rims and 4 wheel Independent suspension!!!

 

[tallsville]

zombie you can do better than that. when im doing 85-90 it feels like im doing 60. feels like the engine is just cruising

I also had precious cargo on board... My 3 kids. It was just a quick stint to pass a truck on the highway due to his load wasn't very secure, with wood getting ready to fall off his truck!
