D1sc max speed is 62,000.
I'm sure there is some safety at that number but depends on your pulley setup and how often you eclipse 7k rpms.

We should line 'em up. ;)
Lol I wish. This thing is useless as is. I need to get a some wider wheels to help with traction. I have tried rolling into it at 60mph and as soon as the converter grabs it blows the tires off and goes right to redline.

Yup.

Kinda feels like you ruined the car, eh? Yet the smile on your face, lump in your throat, and heightened heart rate says you did the right thing.

He definitely rooned it, but I'll take it off his hands if he can't live with himself.


Hope to see it in action before long. Keep us posted on some track dates. What tires are on it presently?

Got to the track. Off the jackstands, largest pulley I have, low timing. 3500 rpm off the trans brake.
