Top speed with limiter removed

[JBHexplorer]

What would the top speed be for a '96 4.0L with stock gears if the limiter was removed (chip).

OHV or SOHC? Also, stock gears can be different. Look on your vin# sticker on the driver's door, find the axle code and look it up in the owner's manual. What size of tires do you have?

I have an OHV with 3.55 gears. I run 31" tires. I have had the needle pointing to the "N". Which, on my '91 I would estimate to be about 105-110 (+ the difference in tire size). I don't have the chip so I'm sure it can go faster than that.

If everybody is different, how can anyone be normal?

OHV. I'll have to check on the gear ratio. I have 255/45-18 tires. It cut off at about 105-106mph now, but I know it's got more in it.

JBH I have the jet chip and it did'nt remove the limiter. I can go up to 110 mph and it cuts off and slows to 105 mph and kicks back in, maybe the superchip is different?

Hey JBH- I have a '92 w/ 3.08 gears. I got it up to 117 on the interstate. I have a few mods, but I think the high gears and the chip are the main factors. My friend has a GPS and we used that to figure out how fast we were going. The motor was turning ~4000 rpm. It pretty much leveled off there, it wouldn't climb any higher.

I've tagged 115 in my '94... Made me think there wasn't a governer on it... If it is, it doesn't really limit you, because at that speed, she wasn't exactly what I would consider stable. Dead Link Removed Don't think the Firestone P235's are exactly NASCAR material... I also don't reccomend trying this on I-10 just over the California border from AZ like I did... The local CHiPs were less than amused. > Dead Link Removed
