I know so...There is NO question. Its almost common sense really...I had a 3.3 and it was somewhat fast, but it took over 100 feet to get to top speed. A BL truck can get there as fast as you want. It's just a matter of keeping the front end down...

... and getting traction (if you aren't wheelie-ing already).

If you look at the photos you can see that the wheelie bar is set low and I configured the suspension to limit the amount of life from the front. I hit the pedal and the truck pushes back a little and then it squats down on all four wheels and just goes.

But my main question is how fast top speed will be with the setup i have based on the 2.5 hp that everyone configured for me?
