I believe the Superchips 3865 (as well as other tuners) removes the speed limiter. Correct me if I'm wrong guys.

Stock the truck is set at 112MPH max. With a stock truck, I had a hard time hitting 110MPH before I ran out of road. With the Superchips you can take it up to 140MPH. I havent had my truck above 115MPH though .... it takes a long time.

i can get to 90 real quick, thats about as fast as I feel comfortable with around here. really i have no need nor desire to go any faster. For me it's not how how fast I can go, it's how quick I can get to the speed I want to be at.....

I got mine up to about 107-109mph and that was like the third day I owned the truck. On my road which is pretty straight and desserted I ussually do like 85-90mph.

Mine is an 05 and I have been over 100 mph in it. Fastest I have been in a car is 140 in my corvette with the top down. Check out this guy who got arrested posting videos of his his corvette going 195 mph lol...

No kidding, he should of never let his face been shown in the rear view mirror then they could not of proved it was him. Article says he spent $60k modifying it and he was selling for $25k, now add whatever he paid for it the vette to begin with then the mods, then the time in jail and or fine they give him and he made a pretty bad investment. It was nice hearing it chirp the tires during the shift changes though...
