does any body know when the governor kicks in on a 97 f150 4.6 V8 cuz on the express way the other day i had it pedal buried in the floor and i was only doing 85 @2500 rpm and i have gotten up to 95 b4 but i had to let off.

 

Mine (01) kicked in at 107 (BIG GUESS cuz the spedometer only goes to 100) but it was pretty far from 100. I am guessing it is an even number like 110. Too fast for me anyway don't feel like repeting the experience. if I want to go fast I will just use my sisters car.

They are different on some trucks, but between 97-107 is the factory limiter I believe.

Mine use to top out at aroune 98...with the bigger tires its right around 105.
I use a calculator and the engine RPM to figure it out since the stock speedo isnt to accurate once it up around the 100MPH mark...and you have no idea once your over 100.

 

yah mines kicked in between 97-100. Its pretty hard to be dead on accurate at those speeds, even if you have brand new tires

 

98 every time... sure is slow compared to my ol mans vette when I was doin 170
