Fun times on the highway...
So the other day...I decided to have a little fun on the highway. Too bad I didn't get a video but uh...yea...I sorta needed both hands. At first, though...I did not intend to reach my top speed...the perfect moment just came about.
I was driving the straightaway on I-294...and the only car in front of me went to the next lane...so I looked at my speedometer, and apparently I was near 90 and I didn't even realize it...I thought I was going 80. Anyway....so I was then like "hmm... =D =D =D" So...I gun it. I got around 100 something and I see another car in ahead so I was like "crap" and slowed down. Yea...then he changed lanes too...so then I was like "Oh hell yea!" so I gun it again. I reached the limit that the computer let me, which was 118mph. It was fun, yet scary, because the limiter made the truck jolt. Yea...4x4, snow tires, you get what I mean. It's nice cuz I didn't think it it could do that, yet it felt like it could keep going.
The only videos I have are my crappy pulls. The first video, I let go of the gas at 2nd gear. The second video, I was on a curve 0-30. The time I was trying to make these videos, my damn tires wouldn't stop squealing, so it was kind of a pain to get a good pull. But anyway, this is the only time I had made a video so...here.

Im not sure what my limit is but I was at 115. I was following a bmw he was speeding up in the straights and slow where I couldnt pass so I knew the next straight to pass was coming up so I slowed down and then gun it and reached him right before the straight doing 80 he tried to gun it but I already had 20mph on him he gave up at 100 but I kept going I looked down and I was doing 115 thats the fastest my truck went since I've had it.
thunder how do u have the limiter, i thought u had a superchips, mine would only go to 100 with out the superchips, with it ive had it pegged at 120 on the speedo but was still accelerating so ive prolly gotten to around 130
remeber when my pcm died? i didnt have the handheld, so ive been running stock computer for a while now. i had mine pegged too, going down a huuuuuge hill.
