holding 10lbs of boost and 110 octane. Running a 25tooth top gear and holding it right at 10,000rpms. If I push the throttle just a little I can get 10,200, but with the fresh motor I didnt want to hold it there (somewhere between 3/4 and wot, but definately not wot)

I just wanted to know if this is what I should be seeing from a bender stage 2 with a head shim??

Because, I saw 128 on the dream meter at stock at WOT and about 1 mile in distance. And I was pushing it very hard. O ya 136" 1-1/4 track w/studs
 
I'm not much help but on a 80shot of nitrous I see 140-150 mph n the dream o meter. I thought a turbo would give you 80hp or more so I think you have more left in her. Fun!
 
How far are you going? Pretty sure I only had about 1/2 mile of field and part of it was under water.
 
Usually about 1/2 to 3/4 mile. When I hit the button it jumps from 80 to 110 so fast I cant tell how far it is but I'm covering a lot of ground! On a lake over a mile the sled as seen 156 on the dream o meter
 
I will get out the gps, we got 2" last night, so if the field isnt all water i will try it out.
 
I don't think so.

Im not here to be a dink but I ran an Mcxpress 12 psi sled against mine on the weekend and we were pretty well even. Knowing that I know there is nothing wrong with my sled. Done a TON of testing this winter and I highly doubt that this sled will turn 128 mph at 1/2 or 3/4 throttle at 10-10200. We were both running 12 psi. Granted the Rx1 will go a litttle quicker with the gear reduction differences. I sure wish there was a fast guy up here to compare sleds so far I have run 4 boosted sleds and we are all very close.

Familyman no disrespect intended, if we are that much slower up here in Ontario I would really love to know why. Maybe we run different fuel,distance, etc Im not sure. I would love to know how 1/2 the guys on this site get the speeds I read.
 
He's talking dream meter not real mph.Some stock apex's are seeing 130-133on the speedo but's really not that either.
 
refigure it with 8 tooth drivers. Maxdlx

and he is running 10% OD. So on the DM it is possible

so if the dream meter is off 20 mph it is very possible. Maxdlx
 
Yeah I have the 25T top gear and OFF the bottle I hit 120 this weekend on the dream o meter. On the bottle its stupid fast.

Anybody grind a tooth or two off to make the speedo more accurate?
