How fast have you been in your w-body?

[rmcardle3]

130ish, racing a mazdaspeed 3 (i won ) just about to hit rev limiter in 3rd, (4th was broken)

you really don't want to be wot going into 4th anyway unless you have a new and improved 4th clutch.

I don't know alot, so I did not know this.

for those of you that went 130+ mph, i want to know how long your motor lasted after you ran it out of oil for a minute or so.

Still running strong over 1 year later...

also, at that speed the load on the motor is so stupid high that detonation is not likely, its a certainty.

Zero KR, I guess you don't have a tune, nor know how to tune...

also, if you even let it shift into fourth im going to call you an idiot right now.

The car wouldn't shift into 4th at WOT, but it did shift into 4th when I got out of it...

i hate this thread and the horse it rode in on.

Then why post in it? :th_jester:

what do you mean by letting it run out of oil for a minute or so?

 

[Bio248]

when you run it WOT like that for such a long time the bearings get starved of oil. do it enough times and youll spin a bearing.
