Those 928 engines have insane amounts of power. I would be more worried about blowing diffs not to mention the ammount of fuel its going to eat. Its not a buggy engine, monster truck would be more sutable for that kinda power.

I agree they've got balls man I've got a 928 in my savage x and was amazed at the difference it made! I agree you go through parts and fuel a little quicker but if you're fearless like I am you don't notice it very much. But then again it's user preference so I'll just leave it at that as not to start any conversation wars. I will say over all I don't really regret buying one of these beasts I have mine mated up to a Tsais Savage tuned pipe and just love it. Although I will say I did sorta have to learn how to drive all over again because the front wheels would go anywhere but straight off the line but I solved that with putting in a stronger servo. I plan on getting the LCG Chassis in the future in order to hopefully sort out the body roll and top heavyness of the savage trucks I don't plan on racing I'm just a basher at heart and usually stick to construction sites and that sort of thing and fortunatley living hear in Canada there is lots of wide open spaces in which to run so I won't bother anyone with the noise. Well Hope you love your TM928 just as much as do because I am personally now a big fan of the RB line up of engines and I plan on getting another RB for my next truck! Keep the hobby alive!

Is there a tuned pipe to go with the TM928 that offers more top speed?

If you want more top speed then changing your gear ratio is the key...but of course if you have the same power output then it will take longer to get to that speed...
You can use different exhausts to enhance different engine characteristics...without knowing what you have or what you are trying to achieve then your question would be hard to answer...
