Foose #402

Just reached a 1000 miles on #402. Did a break in of no hard stops & not getting on it hard. Drove at different speeds & kept the rpms down & varied. So I have a place I go, open road no traffic. So I am going to open her up. Away I go ,up to 90 quickly then its over. I had no idea the speed limiter would still be set after Tecstar had installed the roots supercharger. Talked to Rousch,federal laws,blah,blah, no help. Tecstar doesnt answer phone or e-mails. Hard to understand why the speed limiter wasnt changed.

Anyways so now I need a custom tune(only way to release the power)? Have been reading the tune section looking at the various sites. Information overload. Can I get a tune that just stops the top speed limiter or am I just better off to get a custom tune? To many choices. Any help appreciated.

I would think that you could run an Edge or Gryphon and just change that one setting. The only question would be if the tuner would recognize your HEX code.

yeah i would think that would work since the first level only ups the transmission. i just suggested the custom tunes since it would take care of the problem and make the truck run a lot better.

Possibly you are correct. I was assuming that he already had a custom tune that was satisfactory, and only wanted to remove the limiter. If a complete custom tune is desired, than an Xcal3 or Gryphon would be the way to go.

I would get a custom tune and unleash that beast.The stock Roush tune leaves a lot of performance on the table.
