Default Beat a new Hemi Today

Well, I was on this 4 mile long brand new country road today. I passed a guy I know and he sped up to me and waved at me to stop....we raced from about a 25mph roll, and he stomped me (obviously)...but then I started catching up to him and eventually passed him, my truck was rolling at 116 and still had some (i guess his shut off)

My question is how did I get to 116 without a programmer or anything???

Sorry, my iphone took way too long to bring up the camera for me to catch it.

Not sure assuming the speedo is accurate and the speed governer is the same on the 07 than the 02-05 series.
Good run by the way

not sure how you got up to 116... maybe your truck was programmed at some point?

Obviously it was a joke...I know I couldnt beat a 2010 Hemi, i have a PRE-08 4.7.

I dont know what my speed limiter is...I assumed 99-100 like most other trucks, and I also assumed the same for the Hemi. Thats why I said I guess his shut off.

My truck has never been programmed, I bought it with like 13 miles on it. And obviously I was over 100 because I blew by him at 100ish. Thats my big question.

By the way, when I let off, my truck felt like it was almost engine braking....like almost downshifting but it stayed in gear....whats up with that?

I had my '02 w/ the 5.9 @ 110, then my L.E.D. Light bar blew off the roof. Never been programmed to my knowledge.
