How Fast Have You Gone in Your DSM?

[JasonR]

I was really surprised how many replies there are on my post for top speed. I just wanted to see what people thought if gear ratio is longer vs dealer stock ratio, what else could stop are modified machines hitting 200mph? There is a shop that makes are transmission with better gear ratio and stronger components and I ordered the dahm thing, but waiting and dont know if what they claim is true. The fastest I have gone is just 140mph. As long as I am going straight on track I will try to go as fast as possible. :bounce:

143, I would of went faster, but I have one of the only(it seems) 2G GSXs with a gay ass top speed limiter.
Maybe it was just a lack of TOP END POWER?!?!?!?!?! hehehehehe. :ohmy:

well, top speed depends on clutch slip, air drag, and hp. The more power you make the faster you will go at the same rpm, in 4th and 5th gear. I was at 7k in 5th and had 165mph on a gps. So I figure I could get 175-180 at 7500 if the clutch holds up, which was slipping a little at that speed. Who is the cracker that clicked 180? And the guy that did 188mph(claimed) only had "400hp" and 8500 rev limit.

So if I make 400 whp and hit 6k rpm in 5th, I will be going slower than if I had 500 whp and was at 6k rpm in 5th??

9:37AM is a little early to be drinking, isn't it John? ;)

Not me, I voted for my old dsm's, had to make the pole unbias.
John, I think you mean, the more power you make, the further you can get in the rpm band in top gear.

not a dsm, but i took the stang to upper 130's before i got scared

145+ not sure, the road was more important than the guages at that time. :jammin: :naughty:

well at some point I will have to put a tack on the input shaft of the tranny then see what it says in 4th and 5th gear at 18psi and 35psi (3xxwhp vs 5xxwhp). I suppose 170mph is possible in 4th gear at 9xxxrpm.
