100 mph

[Squatting Dog]

You gotta love the Raptor's power.. I know I said it is foolish/stupid/etc to worry about 100+ mph...

It just amazes me how effortlessly the Raptor pulls to 100mph, and begs to be pushed faster..

I cant imagine this motor in a more aerodynamic or lighter vehicle...

Regearing would be killer in the Raptor... Right now my SCrew at WOT it shifts 2-3 60mph 3-4 90mph 4-5 ??? 5-6 ???

The major let down(for me) is the tranny on the Raptor. I wish it were more sport oriented and wasnt so lethargic in shifting. Can get annoying. But I love how effortlessly the Raptor pulls at higher speeds. Strong motor.

A 5 Star tune would help the shifting and remove the 100 mph limiter correct?

 

[Squatting Dog]

Correct.. 5star will correct lethargic shifting and remove limiter.. The issue with removing limiter is the Raptor is powerful enough to destroy itself (tires and driveshaft).

Yes it will. I have my limiter shut off and the truck shifts much better now

i actually went a little off the beaten path and had Mike get me a 91 octane tune, with the stock transmission settings. that power spike you feel with the 5 Star around 3500 rpms is still there but it shifts like butter. i like it a lot.

Had mine to 125 and it was scary (not STABLE)! 90 is about the limit for this truck---at least mine on the top perch running 37's..... I have places where I can drive this fast 30 minutes at a time on the way to the ranch in NM.

gotten 130 MPH on mid perch with stock BFG's. all things considered it was handling fine. could of went more but i ran out of road

great, greg is turning street queen on us......

Since basically i am on low/stock perch and sacked rear leafs.. My Raptor is pretty low (24" from center of hub to fender lip).. Lol

Doing a little high speed test (on a closed course with a professional driver) it was stable at higher speed.. But lane changes at speed with swaybar removed was "wobbly".. Definitely going back on before Bullrun.
