I was wondering, does a stock F150 come with an electronic governor/speed limiter? If so, what is the cut off speed? I know the Lightning is only limited by aerodynamics (somewhere around 150mph), but is this also true for regular F150s? Basically I'm just curious if my '99 Lariat has a top speed, and if so what it is. After all I doubt I'll ever take her up that fast to test it. Thanks.

Dear Freezer,

Yes, your F-150 does have a top speed limiter, as do most computer-controlled vehicles. Most of the F-150's are set to 98 mph.

Any way to "remove/reprogram" the limiter?

Blake,

I am going with what TSquared said, and I am going to add something. It will make your truck hit easily 115mph! And you'll get easily 25hp and 40lb-ft torque!
