vibration at 135 mph

I've had mine up to 135 mph 2 times & it was still pulling, but I had to slow down. No Problems and very smooth.
 
Had a dodge truck roll up on me at 80, droped the hammer looked in the mirrior and he was no longer there, looked down, 125 with a lane change, smooth as glass:cool:
 
125 or so is smooth as silk, not really enough good roads close by to go too much faster. I trip out west should fix that though.

I look for opportunities to pass even when I dont need to. a terrific passing car to be sure.
 
Driving School in 2 weeks. 135 down the front straight, time to check the gages and catch my breath:banana2:

Same deal with a "modified" Dodge Dakota 5.9 @ 60 mph at 4 a.m. on I-10. He rolled down his window and counted down with his fingers. By the time I had him by a full car length we were @ almost 140. I would have never believed it if I had not glanced down at the speedo. Smooth.

You know that is very true, although it dissapoints me when it feels like im doing 50, i look at the speedo and im only doing 15 :confused:

Yet when you really are doing 50 it feels like your going to die. Still a speed im trying to hit!



Have fun in the fast lane, i dont think ill catch up.
 
I read here that if you have 4:10's you should keep it BELOW 100mph...for fear of damaging the tail shaft...Would this be true?

BTW: I read that you can go higher (speeds) if you have the proper equipment (ie: up-graded and balanced drive shaft, tail shaft lube mod)

ALOHA
 
I had my driveshaft balanced on the DTR at the local driveshaft place, 65 bucks and he said it was good for 160+, never felt a vibration at 130+
