yes, this post is a duplicate of the one I put in the Econoline section... making sure all my FTE buddies read it

Yesterday I was on a country road in line behind three cars and a semi. The line was led by a slow-moving AutoZone maintenance truck doing five under the speed limit…
First available opportunity I gave the skinny pedal 100% and passed the whole line. It made me wish I had a high performance muffler :-)
Just as I got to the front there was a good deal of spark knock as usual, and much to my surprise and dismay the engine completely died out. But I had enough speed and travel to still pull in front of the whole line. I was quickly refreshed when the engine started pulling after a moment. Then I realized the van is electronic limited to 80 something miles per hour… LOL. Good times!

 

My 02 V10 F350 is governed at 100mph and my 05 E250 5.4 is governed at 85mph

 

That's kind of lame of the manufacturer, there are freeways in Utah with a speed limit of 80mph and most people cruise at 85.

 

Depends on the gearing. My '96 t-bird was limited to 96 - when I put a 3.73 in it (original was 3.27) the limiter was down around 84. Then I chipped it
