Thread: I can't go that fast!!

Okay so the other day i took my friend and I on a long straight away too c how fast i could get it and I only could top it at 132mph and that's all i could go it didn't wanna go no more. I have on cheap a$$ tires now and 16inch steel rims. Could the low speed rating tires have anything to do with me not going any faster ? I use to go over 140mph Oh and when ever i do go over 100 sumthing my check engine soon light pops on then after a few days of driving normal it will go away. The light blinked on and off then stayed on after i was going 132 then started to slow down. Dam i need those 1.9 mod rockers. I guess i will hook up my tech 2 and see whats going on.

the blinking SES is a misfire. for what reason to you insist on going that fast? you know youre knocking up top, right?

hmm, i guess i need to check my plugs. Now i did use my schools new scanner and i went wot up till about 90mph and the most kr i get is 4* Now the reason for going that fast is unkown.

Tire rating won't slow you down. The tire rating tells you the max speed the tires can sustain for a brief period. If they're cheap tires you're probably going to overheat them and get a blowout. A blowout at that speed would not be good news for you.

Yeah i figure that wasn't safe. I did 125mph on a donut tire last week. Not smart

Yeaah i got enough supporting mods for a 3.4 pulley to stay. But i do need to send my pcm to tdc and i'm saving up for some 1.9 mod rockers.

something is messing you up. i can just about that with stock pulley and tune. stock it saw almost 140. after the headers it kinda slowed it down a bit.

but after last time of doing high speed runs and on the second burst of high speed it was slowing down pretty fast while i was still in it (guess KR) so im not doing that anymore. deff not with out a scan gauge hooked up. but theres other things that could go wrong also (oiling issuies)

i had my tire on my explorer come off when i was going 65 this summer it was the back tire soo when it came off i thought it was just a flat or something.
