Ford F250.

I don't know if I would want to do 182mph in any truck. But if you really need to get your cattle to the slaughter house and anything less than 3 miles per minute just wont do then you now have the answer.

182 mph that痴 how fast Hajek Motorsports and Ford Engineers got their 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty to go. On its way to 182 mph, the 6.7-liter turbodiesel V-8-equipped F-250 set not one, not two, but three production truck land speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Ford says that its engineers and Oklahoma-based Hajek Motorsports only installed a high pressure fuel pump, new fuel injectors, new turbos, and modified the compression ratio. Aside from the performance modifications, the F-250 was also fitted with a roll cage, five-point harness, a drag chute, aerodynamic fairings for the front bumper, and the obligatory salt flat moon-dish wheels. The F-250痴 drivetrain and transmission were stock.

i dont quite know how you modify the compression ratio unless you rework the head. (deck the crap out of it? put different pistons in) injectors, pump, turbos no big deal... but modified compression ratio!... um thats major "tweeking"

Maybe they just super glued a couple of nuts to the top of the pistons. :laughing:

Since they definitely did not run stock, they might try chasing this truck. 222 MPH one way, 217 average. And, they drove to the track... Towing a trailer with their race gear in it. I remember reading about this back then, that they got around 22mpg on the drive to Bonneville, while towing the race trailer.

Didn't say they raised the compression ratio. They might have lowered it due to the monster turbos they added. Lowering is much easier.

granted they could have just shimmed the head but still...
