Can I Make A 1990 Suburban V1500 4x4 350 V8 Go Up To 200 mph? (Corvette, engines)

[selogic]

My question to the OP is ... why would you want to ?

To get a Suburban brick to do 200mph, you'd need twin turbos, a helluva lot of boost, and probably a minimum of 1000 horsepower.

And, it would probably only hit 200 mph once, before blowing up/crashing in grand fashion.

Maybe that's the OP's intent. I'd kind of like to die in a memorable way....But with my luck, it'll be just a stupid accident.

I know it's heavy but at what speed woud a 'burb develop lift?

Here's the end of the movie-if you have to ask the internet how to do it you can't. Sorry.

And with a 700r4 transmission?

One question, BlackandGold . . . WHY?

It's kind of been done before... back in the 90's. Lingenfelter modded a Suburban and gave it 550hp and 700 lb ft of torque, 605 cubic inches.

Top speed was 162.

Slap two turbos on that engine and you could conceivably reach 200 mph with about 1000 hp.

Of course.

Just leave it in neutral.

Then strap it to an F-15 that's taxiing to take-off.

10 years ago there was a guy who tried this in a Lincoln Navigator or Ford Expedition. I saw the video on the news and will post it if I can find it. The front fenders and hood basically deformed because of the air pressure, causing the vehicle to turn and roll. Given that, I think there is a limit to the velocity at sea level. Maybe try it in a vacuum

Someone asked "why would you want to?" The answer is like why climb a mountain BECAUSE it is THERE MAN !

either that or you are planning on doing a Doritos commercial.

They taste like awesome feels !

I think the major problem with a 200mph Suburban is the weight and lack of aerodynamics that would help to keep you on the track but of course with enough power it could be done at least once.

I think rockets are the way to go here.
