Was wondering to what speed you have gotten your Ex/Mounty up to, those of you who have had the speed limiter replaced....why you ask?
Well, mine is supercharged and I am wondering whether at that speed/rpm tha SC is actually making the vehicle slower. Doug wrote me a program to remove the speed limiter, and I am not able to get the vehcile above about 108. It doesn't seem to limit as it did when 106 was the limit, but you just hold the pedal to the floor and it just stays at 108. I am not sure whether I am running out of fuel and or air ect...or whether the drag on the motor from the SC is just that great at that RPM/speed.....
My wife's Jeep Liberty with a 3.7L weighing in at the same weight does about 118mph. (that is all I was able to get it to safely)
My 97 Sport 4L OHV 5 speed stick will do 108 on a straigh line with no wind. (and that is pushing it) I would figure tha additional HP of the 5L with a SC, it should do at least 115???
I am not looking at doing any high speed cruising, but when I want to aniolate a rice burner, I want to do it without losing them in the end....
Thanks
