Whats the highest you got your alero?
 
I got my little 2.2L up 108MPH thats what she tops out at...What could i do to make it go more?

03glgold 10-24-2013 01:07 PM

that was at a track right...you will get in trouble on here for street race type talk...108 is the governor, not really the top speed so tuning would be your answer, but there are components that should be upgraded if you were to go faster than that as suspension and braking system can only handle 110

Yea that was at a track, i would like it to get more acceleration though, top speed isn't the biggest key for me, i was thinking a cold air intake and exhaust? and maybe a chip? What do you think

03Sleepr 10-24-2013 02:12 PM

Turbo..cam (s).. 5speed

WIALERO 10-24-2013 02:20 PM

pay it off first lol then

sleepyalero 10-24-2013 02:43 PM

142... on a closed road. ;)

They dont make chips for aleros. You might see them places but they are fake.

kinkyredalero 10-24-2013 02:57 PM

Shes all stock...and im alomost done paying it off lol i just want more power!

03glgold 10-24-2013 03:11 PM

intake and exhaust are a good starting points...i cant vouch for it but supposedly if you port match the intake manifold there is an increase in upper end power at the cost of some of the low end depending on what you are wanting

kinkyredalero 10-24-2013 03:22 PM

Thats what i really want...i got a weapon r dragon filter but would like the piping for it, i e-mailed them and they said send a picture of your engine, so i did and no response..anyway i could make cheap one?

sleepyalero 10-24-2013 03:59 PM

You can order an intake off ebay. Weapon r is stupidly priced for just an intake. To go over 108 you have to tune out the speed limiter in the PCM.

Or just get lucky like me. Mine has seen 130 and the limiter is set at 107 or something according to our tuner.

141 on a closed road. Scary as shit. One thing i say, unless the car is a drag-only car then there is no need to remove the limiter. There is absolutely no reason anyone should have a need to go faster then the cars rated limit from the factory on public roads.

Speed is a funny thing on most forums. Don't ever post "where" and you might be ok. Less info is better in this circumstance. Aleromod has kept its boards very clean about talk like this since its inception many years ago. Oh, Hamilton Airport, yes a landing strip for 747's, 4 years ago I hit 155mph or 250kph using a GPS tracker. There was more there but ran out of runway. I also spent almost 60,000 dollars total on my car to make it do that. Nothing on that car was untouched if you get what I'm saying. Unless you've built the car for it, don't go any faster until you make some serious mods and wear a dam helmet! It will save your life if you have a chance of surviving a crash! Without a helmet, its a guaranteed game over move at those speeds.
Just to give you an idea, at 155mph you are covering 229 feet per second! To go even further it takes you 200 milliseconds to blink on average... that means at 155mph I was covering 45.5 feet in the time it takes to blink! Maybe if people could wrap their heads around just how fast they are going at these kinds of speeds, they would think a little harder about it, before going to meet the big guy upstairs....

An indicated 140MPH many years ago (maybe 2005???).
Then I ran out of stupidity.

xXManwhoreXx 10-27-2013 12:21 PM

MMGT1 10-27-2013 04:49 PM

Meet me there summer 2015.... ahhhh yea.... I'll be ready by then. I want a 175mph club pin from Salt flat and a 201mph slip from Texas Mile, that's my goal with this car.

xXManwhoreXx 10-27-2013 04:59 PM

What trans are you going to hit 201 with

sleepyalero 10-27-2013 05:07 PM
