    X1Heavy was talking a big assist from gravity. I wouldn't want to even think about going that fast, but there are some hills on 80 in PA where it's best to mind your business, really well. Other places, class 8s are restricted to 10 mph on up to maybe 25 mph, depending on the hill. 10 mph might even be faster than some would allow, I don't get around there much anymore.

    If 750hp can’t push 4K lbs at 200mph. I seriously doubt he would even see 120.

    No he means mph. I took a truck just like that and hit 175 mph with loaded b trains going up Monteagle. Put a 7k ohm resistor to trick the fuel pressure sensor, each inector was getting 100,000 psi. (Ran 2 cycle to keep the orings in good shape)

    Swapped to FleetAir filters and some Slick 50 in the crankcase. 175 was all I would attempt, driveshaft was rated for 173.

    Who ever said 750 can’t push 4k to 200mph?

    I’m sure the late Buddy Baker could educate you on that.

    If he'd said 40k I could see his point.
