Not so far. Closest I’ve seen is lying to the truck about tire size using Forscan. If you tell it the wheels are smaller than they really are, you’ll be going faster than the truck thinks. Of course the speedo and odometer will be off too. And I assume there’s a limit to how low you can go. I read somewhere someone did that at the track and gained a couple MPH. Don’t know details though.

I'd have to look-- but I'd think it's probably something to do with the tires. I'm not sure through. You can definitely feel it slow down when you hit the limiter.

When I have the "need for Speed" my 2012 ZX14r does the trick

You all are going to make me miss my snowmobiling days. Nothing like bombing across a lake at a buck fifteen, in the dark and blowing snow, and have a fishhouse suddenly flash by....

There is a FORSCAN setting related to Police use that says "max speed". I dont believe it will have any effect on our trucks but might be worth a try.

I just checked the tires on my Lariat ER on stock wheels and the speed rating is T. That’s 118mph/190kph. So the tires are good up until then.
