I'm going to disagree. Not trying to be a dick, but a stock 2gnt is drag limited to 130mph. I've kept mine buried in 5th on the interstate (early morning) and down a hill it still wouldn't get over 130mph.
At this time it had around 75k miles.

Not trying to be a dick or anything but you shouldn't open your mouth unless you know what you are talking about. I would understand if you said they were limited because they were governed, or gear limited, but you said drag limited. I've had my car easily up to 130 in 4th gear and it wasn't even redlined. So please, don't try to call someone out if you don't know what you are talking about. K? Tks.![]()
This should be you after this post --->![]()

If vehicle speed exceeds Max Altenator amperage output, it will fry the altenator.Originally posted by AEMEclipse140
