Speed Limiter on 4.6
Not that I plan to go this fast in my truck but does anyone know what the speed limiter is on a 97 F150 with 4.6 automatic?

97 4.6 F150, 1/4 = 17.48 @ 82.2 mph, 88 5.0 Mustang 1/8 = 7.409 @ 93.72 mph

Dear Larry,
It's set at 98 mph. A Superchip will remove it, of course.
Generally, the way the automakers do this is they will set the top speed limiter to match the speed rating of whatever the factory tires are.
