Be Honest....How Fast?
I installed my Diablo Predator last night. I'm only running the 87 Octane tune but have been pleasantly suprised with the performance improvements.
I also turned off the speed limiter. Not because I plan on doing more than 101 but just becuase I like knowing I could do that or more if I choose to.
I was wondering what top speeds have been hit now with the speed limiter off.

110 mph - 04 5.4, diablo 93 tune, k&N drop in, MIT intake tube, flowmaster 40 series. By the way I smoked my buddies stock duramax and backed off at 110. The new fords will flat out get it if you invest a little cash.

Took the needle just a little past 120 and the truck started taking up both lanes of the highway. These 6000+pound 4x4's were not designed to run that fast. I am certin that if you could keep it under control, and had the proper speed rated tires that it could easily top 135-140 given enough room. I will NOT attempt another top end run on the 295/70/17 Nitto Terras...

if i am not mistaken, but that looked like a run slip from a drag race track.
