Cant Stop > Yes NOS is a brand. It is a common abrev 4 nit so that every1 knows what u r talking about. Top speed is all about gearing. 3rd in the ram is your one to one and depending on rpm and gears every hemi truck made is capable of running 150+. My old truck would have gone faster had it had either better aero or more power. At 155 the truck still had another 1100 rpm untill fuel shut off however she was maxed.

The SRT-4 is out of juice at this speed b/c of gearing not power. 150 in an srt-4 is in 5th gear which is an OD. I don't know what the final drive and gear ratios are but lets assume the typical 0.86 or so for 5th. That means you are now only getting 86% of the power you dynoed at in 4th gear. (4th is your 1 to 1) Now instead of 230hp you are looking at 180ish to the wheels.

The ram is only good for about 130 in 4th gear. Thats the whole point to that section. In order to keep the truck in 3rd gear we had to figure a way around the ecm. Shifting the lever to 2nd while in third did the trick.

Their is a lot of things I could help you with. I am here just for that. I could come on your site and bash the Tundra like everyone comes over to the dodge sites to do.

Thats childish.

Notice my user name is "X" hemidriver? I am not hear to pump up any one brand. Just to help. Originally I was trying to learn what mods to start planning for but it seems very few of you know how to make a vehicle go fast w/o being able to go to the store and buy $800 parts.

Just so everyone knows I will be buying another Toy Truck soon. I am just debating on if I should wait for the diesel or not. I know the Tundras are fast. I know I can make one run low 12's in a weekends time with a few old school race tricks and a little nitrous propane mix for the intake.

Whats the fastest 07-08 you have seen or heard of?????? I can't find anyone running faster than high 13's.

Maybe you should start listning to what I am saying and stop trying to pick fights.
