Does anyone know where I can get gears for a Gen-I raider that would aid in the top speed of the vehicle. As it stands now she can only hit about 65-70mph depending on the grade of the highway <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />. Any sugestions would be great.
Thanks ~ Dave

No gears will help your top speed. Get a more powerful engine.

Mine would run fine at 120+ with stock gears, but not a stock engine.

With the stock 4.625 gears, I can run 65-70mph with my 33's no sweat, unless there's a grade or a headwind. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" />

I'm sure mine would get over 100 if I wanted.
Just got to have the ponies.

I don't think I'd want my Monte to go over 70

So how hard is a Mitsu V6 swap? I've had my Monty (90 v6) at 105MPH. The CHP confirmed it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

I had one real interested as to how I was towing a loaded car trailer up at speed, he deemed it not worth his time to be in court. A 4 cylinder couldn't do what I was doing. Mine did,14lbs boost will do wonders.

I'd say the second barrel on the carb is not opening...
