Default Stupid limiter

Who makes a good kit to get rid of the speed limiter? And do I have to buy another kit to change to shift points or is there a kit that has both? Some lexus SUV tried to pass me (I guess he was pissed about me taking off fast at the light and leaving him) and I had about 3-4 car lengths on him by 97 mph and pulling, then I hit the limiter!!!

You can get a custom tune(best power gains), or there are several hand-held programmers available that can do these things and also give you some extra horses.

I would recommend this route to anyone wanting to mod their trucks. This way, there is no one but yourself to blame, and you will apprciate the work MUCH more when done yourself.
