40 MPH Spree
Why did my 86 spree run 10 mph faster without the aircleaner?

Most sprees will not even run without the airbox.
If yours did 40 without it, it would be the first time in spree history.

Re: 40 MPH Spree
Have you changed the jets in the carb?
If you run your spree with no airbox, you risk blowing it up from running too lean.

Re: 40 MPH Spree
Do you have 2.5 tires?
The spreedometer is not very accurate.
GPS verified 40mph would be very impressive.

Re: 40 MPH Spree
Everything is stock tires and all, Idk how it was possible but i was flying at 40. Possibly the ridiculous power to weight ratio?Trafficjamz wrote:Do you have 2.5 tires?

Re: 40 MPH Spree
Im not calling you a liar, but its highly unlikely that your spree does 40mph. Even if you are a very small asian girl, it probably would top @ 35mph...
Do you need glasses?

Re: 40 MPH Spree
The stock speedo only reads 35 mph. How do you know it is doing 40? Oh and down hill don't count.SpreeMadness520 wrote:Everything is stock tires and all, Idk how it was possible but i was flying at 40. Possibly the ridiculous power to weight ratio?Trafficjamz wrote:Do you have 2.5 tires?

Power/weight has more to do with acceleration than top speed.
You were probably going 35 tops. The spree speedometer is not very accurate with a 2.5 tire.
