Default Roush Programming help needed

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the 5100 rpm fuel shut off and the 95 mph speed limiter. Does anyone make a programmer or custom tune for a Roush Stage 3. Ford cannot do it because of the warranty and all that mess. This truck is so handcuffed and 450hp and 500 ft/lbs of torque is basically trapped under the hood and is useless. Stupid thing tops out in the quarter mile and shuts off at 95. I called Roush and they make nothing for it and ect because Ford has LIability issues with the Truck being sold new off of their lots. Anyway, if anyone has any clues, let me know please. I would appreciate it very much.

You can get all that taken care of with a custom tune. SCT should have something availiable for your truck. Not sure exactly what you'll need, but there's a starting point at least.

Thanks Rob, nice lightning you have there, looks wicked and fast. I will keep looking and maybe I can get this thing to run like it is suppose to. Have already nailed the coffins shut on on a couple of chevy's, one titan, a powerstroke that was staged up being driven by some drunk kid and a New Tundra. As long as we don not get to 95 I will be ok, LOL

You were right, I called SCT and the transferred me to

www.troyerperformance.com

The owners wife owns a Roush and they use it for testing their custom tunes prior to shipment. They can do anything you want, boost updgrades with the pulley and any programming you would like to perform. They send you a programmer and you hook it up to copy the Roush files and send it back. They inturn customize it to your wishes removing limiters such as the RPM and Speed and you are good to go. They said it should run with a stock lightning and SRT once he completes his setup. It is 499 plus shipping three ways. Thanks for your help and keep that beauty of yours shiny side up. I appreciate it Rob.

I would love to run another ford around here, but not much action around my area. How much boost are you running in that truck?

Here is all you need to know about a Roush Stage 3


My truck is set at 7.5 psi by Roush, Troyers pulley only allows 8 PSI and if you read the article about his tuning, it will explain everything. This is going to be great, 400 at the rear wheel is going to be the bomb.
