Jmajor1 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 i have a stock 03 ss awd and it cuts out around 114mph how do i get it so it does not cut out at that speed, I would like to get at least 130 out of it. I had an 02 chevy 5.3 with a hypertech pp and got top end around 125 to 140, so should i buy the same programer or is there something else i can do?

wody Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) just get a custom tune from zippy or revolution raceworks for half the price as a hypertech. they can bump your speed up for you.

montanass Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 exactly why would you wanna go any faster than 110? I've gotten my truck past that maybe 3-4 times in the 2 years that I've had it. Its a truck not a supercar. Do you live in Germany by chance? Hows the Autobahn these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hows the Autobahn these days no not Germany but I got out run my an 90 supra and I know if I would have not cut out the 6.0 liter had alot left in it. so no i will not be going that fast much but to get beating by a 90 supra at 110 was not fun at all !!

wody Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) figure out a budget and goals you want for your truck then do a search on bolt ons and work around that. don't just look at engine bolt ons take a look at tranny mods too. i'd say hold off on the tune until you have all of your other work done then get your tune to bring everything together.

2006SilverSS Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 As suggested, just get a custom or mail order tune and it should take care of this. I have a mail order tune from PCMForless and have gone 130+. I can't say that I'll be doing that again anytime soon, but had to test it .

Bowtie70SS Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 You can have the speed limiter maxed out at 255mph...is that fast enough?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS Silv Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hmmm, let me see. Beeting a 90 supra, or crashing and killing my self at 130mph. I beleive they put the governor on these trucks for a reason. I don't think they were really built to do 130+. Just some food for thought.

I see your point, and again I dont go that fast much but when a $4000 supra beats me cause of my gover, i was not happy. so that you must still have your governor on than right my guess is you dont!! and i have owed chevy trucks all my life and the ss I have had for almost two years now and on the right roads and conditions this truck can safely and easily do 130 with the right tires too!
