View Full Version : how far have you wrapped your moonies? chadcmb 08-12-2007, 03:07 AM i dont know were to put this but i was just wonding how far people have wrapped their moonie gauges with the 88-90 chevys or whatever has the moonies. i have stock 350 with headers and i hot them to the 25 back around. ill try and get a good picture sometime soon. post up yours and what mods you have that i could do maby? 350SSilverado 01-07-2008, 03:10 AM I didn't know they went back around....now I gotta try this.... ShotgunFacelift 01-07-2008, 10:53 AM once orange line at the end of my moonies disappears into the dash, it starts coming up black starting at 0mph and goes up. Ive had the black go up to about 15 on a trip to St. Lucie... est. to be about 95-105mph. solid as a rock at those speeds as well :fsc: chevysnbuicks 01-07-2008, 07:40 PM considering the gauges only go to 85, and 88-99s are limited to 96 or 97 mph, I sure haven't. dimerunner88 05-07-2008, 08:18 PM do it all the time, the ol'305 wraps them back around to 10-12mph. anyone ever checked to see how fast that really its? Colin B 05-07-2008, 08:54 PM considering the gauges only go to 85, and 88-99s are limited to 96 or 97 mph, I sure haven't. Pretty sure it didn't start cutting out until the 4l60e came out, cause I've had mine wrapped around pretty far. TheMaroonBaboon 05-07-2008, 09:02 PM i got up to the 25-35 chevysnbuicks 05-07-2008, 09:21 PM Pretty sure it didn't start cutting out until the 4l60e came out, cause I've had mine wrapped around pretty far. Yeah, for some reason it didn't do it before, but I wrapped it up against a newish v-6 junk-stang. I think it hit the limiter @ 98, but I'm not sure. I think it showed about 15. RCLBs and RCSB have a one-peice drive shaft that hits its resonance frequency at about 100 mph. *edit* that's why they have the limiter @ 98ish. hornsfan10609 05-08-2008, 12:17 PM I had my gauge up to 15 or 20 once, with 3.08 gears it has a lot of top end. drgnblzr 05-09-2008, 12:22 AM hmmmm never knew they wrapped around ... BLOWN91350SS 05-09-2008, 11:25 AM Canadian cluster goes to 140 Kmh, had it wrapped around to 60 Km on the flip side once. Had to slow down after that, didn't feel like getting thrown in jail for doing 120 MPH. S/C Z71 05-10-2008, 09:50 AM Pretty sure it didn't start cutting out until the 4l60e came out, cause I've had mine wrapped around pretty far. The speed limiter has nothing to do with which transmission is in there. It's PCM controlled. My buddies 91 cuts out at 100ish. BLOWN91350SS 05-10-2008, 01:11 PM The speed limiter has nothing to do with which transmission is in there. It's PCM controlled. My buddies 91 cuts out at 100ish. I didn't think the speed limiters were introduced until 93 or 94? When I had a custom chip done once the programmer said that the 91 chip did not have a speed limiter. ??? He said that they starting coming on the trucks about 93/94, but they can be programmed out anyway. All I know is my 91 is capable of going well past the 100. S/C Z71 05-10-2008, 01:37 PM Not my buddies 91 or my other buddies 89 for that matter. :dunno: Colin B 05-10-2008, 07:14 PM The speed limiter has nothing to do with which transmission is in there. It's PCM controlled. My buddies 91 cuts out at 100ish. I didn't know just make a guess since my 93 would cut out and the 90 doesn't seem to. BLOWN91350SS 05-11-2008, 09:04 AM Not my buddies 91 or my other buddies 89 for that matter. :dunno: That's weird, maybe the Canadian ECM programs are different :dunno: Come to think of it, maybe that's why I didn't have a problem. Because the chip was/is not stock as a result of the SC... S/C Z71 05-12-2008, 06:47 AM Who knows. :dunno: I remember 10 yeas ago when I drove moms 89 Ford Aerostar :run: Fugger would cut out at 90ish. My buddies parents 96 Windstar would do 120+. :wtf: Eric_7810 05-14-2008, 09:29 AM 88-99s are limited to 96 or 97 mph Sit the next few out.. :read: twobluechevy 12-10-2008, 09:55 PM Coming off a hill passed 6 cars in a row (just stayed left of center), looked down and i was back at 35...i have no clue how fast i was really going but i was fin flying. m grasso 12-10-2008, 11:29 PM Had my old 4.3 wit 2.72s back around to 35mph, my buddy told me i was goin 122mph.:rocking: man i miss my o'l girl..... r.i.p.:nopity: FordeatinZ71 12-10-2008, 11:52 PM what kind of POS C/K's do ya'll have that are speed limited? i have had 3, a '90 C1500, an '89 K1500 and my '91 K1500 and NONE of them had a speed limiter...AT ALL. i've had mine wrapped around to 40 before on a LOOOOONG stretch...wasn't about to try and snap a picture...fvck that noise... oh yea, and the '89 K1500 was a RCLB so there goes that theory...the other two were both ext. cab short beds...the '90 C1500 was a 350/5-speed... S/C Z71 12-11-2008, 11:23 AM :bull: :lol: FordeatinZ71 12-11-2008, 12:26 PM lol, i'm not kidding...i really did wrap it to 40...it took me forever to get there...the stretch was a few miles long...i just stayed in it as hard as i could without it dropping OD. can't wait to get the Corvette servo...i know why everyone else said 35...it wants to stop at 35 and looks like it does...truth be told, if you hold into it, it will slowly creep up a little more... and there was this other time i wrapped it to 85...twice...the third time it comes around aquamarine...:LOL: JohnO356 12-13-2008, 06:01 PM Yeah-- when mine wrapped around the third time it was plain white with a picture of a cartoon cop with a ticket book. FordeatinZ71 12-13-2008, 07:49 PM lol, well, i tried to get a video of the awesomeness...but i kept running out of road...only got to like 30...that's no damn fun... S/C Z71 12-13-2008, 10:51 PM Even if you have video going around to 30 let's see it. FordeatinZ71 12-13-2008, 11:52 PM ok, let me upload it...its crappy though, it's on my phone...and i just barely hit 30 when i ran out of road...on a longer road i could have kept on going though...it was still climbing... ok, here's the video...try to be understanding...its a 5,300 lb truck with a 192k 350 in it...backed by a 700R4 with weak servos...i just noticed watching the vid again, it looks like i hit 29 the second time around but i stopped the camera a wee bit early...it was 30... http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c159/leese0924/th_VID00004.jpg (http://s27.photobucket.com/albums/c159/leese0924/?action=view¤t=VID00004.flv) JohnO356 12-14-2008, 05:59 AM Now we need proof that your speedometer isn't way, way out of calibration, lol. Dubyagee 12-14-2008, 06:18 AM Yall are going to blow them trucks up on those jackstands. :LOL: JohnO356 12-14-2008, 08:28 AM Yall are going to blow them trucks up on those jackstands. :LOL: Back at the beginning of this thread I was goingh to accuse the guy from Alaska of spinning on ice. m grasso 12-14-2008, 08:41 AM That brings back old memories:aniteef: TheMaroonBaboon 12-14-2008, 09:43 AM I can wrap them to 30-40 why is that so unbelivable S/C Z71 12-14-2008, 09:55 AM I missunderstood what your moonie guys meant. I thought you actually wrapped the red line on the moonies all the way around to 30-40. Nothing special there. FordeatinZ71 12-14-2008, 01:40 PM Now we need proof that your speedometer isn't way, way out of calibration, lol. well, stock tire size...192k original...as far as i know it's never been screwed with. i also know that when i've passed those "speed limit" signs that tell you your speed its always been dead on... Yall are going to blow them trucks up on those jackstands. :LOL: lmao, i was gonna put my truck on jackstands and wrap it around to like 75 just to see what reaction i'd get...:eek: I missunderstood what your moonie guys meant. I thought you actually wrapped the red line on the moonies all the way around to 30-40. Nothing special there. HELL NO! you realize how fast that would be going? by my quick math that would be around 200 mph...we don't all have S/C'd Z71s...lol[/quote] vBulletin® v3.8.2, Copyright ©2000-2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
