Top speed????
Just wondering how fast have you gone in you Super Duty? Did you have a programmer? Did you have a another detection device that tells you your speed, because the Super Duty Spedometer only goes to 100.

I think all of them are stock limited to 98. Once you get a tuner to unlock the top speed you would need something like a GPS to tell you your speed since, as you mentioned, the speedo is limited to 100.

Colorado State Patrol says 127 mph in my 2000 F 350 with K&N intake ,4" straigth exhaust and 75 hp diablo chip. Now have 2006 F 350 with Superchips tuner, waiting for better than stock tires for a real run.

dang, that is pretty fast for a diesel! i was in tow-haul and i tapped the brake going down hill, and the trailer pushed me up to 3900 rpm (with the 6.0) and i thought that was pretty unsafe! no wonder he blew the motor, 1700*+
, I am not that crazy. Maybe around 110.

I passed my boss on the way to work one day on the interstate. His car shuts off at 107 and I kept pulling away. The speedometer went to 100, back to 0, back to 100, back to 0 and stayed there. I let off because I dont have gauges and feared high EGT's. I have an 03 CC 4X4, 7.3 auto, 305/70's, SCMT 1705 set on perf tow. He was dumbfounded when we got to work as to seeing a diesel blow by him at 100+ mph. And keep accellerating.

To do what I did to that first motor, and how short of a time I was buried in the throttle (in comparison) it easily reached over 2000 degrees. I didn't have a pyrometer at the time, and I was running pure alcohol in the injection system.

I got mine new in "01 and have only hit 95 2 times and wife said that was enough never again, You are right they weren't built for speed I have a 350 7.3 powerstroke.
I cannot see running that fast if you want something that fast get a lambroghini {sp?} that will get ya there fast sure enough.
Lynn says it feels like the truck is stretching hahahaha :0) anyho bought mine for towing not speed although at times I see speed being a good thing..
Towing: a 30' boat and a 26' boat maybe a 4wheeler at times.
