Video says they swapped the tires on the trailer for something rated for that kind of speed.

I'm surprised it could go that fast with the stock final drive ratio. I don't think mine could make it with the 3.73.

A thousand horsepower will push an awful lot of air out of the way. :)

And since the truck had DEM RIMZZZ......so probably higher speed rated tires as well.

A .61 6th gear with 3.73s, stock 245/75R16 tires and 3250 rev limit works out to 129 mph. The tires in the video didn't look stock though.
I dunno how high you can rev a Duramax LBZ before the rods let go, but a fairly modest rear end swap should give 140+ fairly easily.
