programmer?

I have recently had truck (05 5.4 screw) govern out at 102 and i dont like it. I dont usually drive fast but when you need to pass it is nice to have the speed to get around (gravel trucks throwin rocks up.....dont want to get truck beat to crap by the rocks). I have seen a bunch of different programmers out there and dont have a clue which one is better than the others. Basically want something to get rid of governor and maybe increase mileage? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The truck governs out at 102mph for many reasons. And plus, my truck is governed and I have no problem passing people at all. Now if you are talking about passing people while you are doing 80mph +, then that's a different story

When doin 75 mph and i run up on a gravel truck......i wanna pass so i dont get rocks thrown all over me. It has governed out on my 2 times now and i dont like to start around and then just hit the preset limit.....tryin to preserve the look of the truck!
