Run out of rpm at 130 or so. Stock fuel shut off is like 108 I thought I read somewhere. Maybe 118? Stock Tires aren't rated to go that fast anyway. They start making funny noises after 105-110.

Stock is like 106 I think. Mine with the 4.10 gear and stock tires was up to about 118 on a dyno, I got a Smarty and took off the limiter.

Mine hits a limiter at about 99 MPH.

Of course under controlled conditions on a track and not a public roadway.

Keep holding it to the floor and it wil actually slow down and the pedal is dead, let off the pedal and then hit again it will go o 99 and do the same tihng over again.

You don't need a chip to remove the speed limiter. Just reach down and turn the key like you're going to start it (limiter override). The computer knows not to engage the actual starter.

I will not confess how I know this (or how fast I've gone) but I was amazed at how stable the truck was at those speeds. Lots of iron under that hood.
