Default Roush Tuning Help needed

I place this in the Lightning and speciality trucks also. 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 could look into HP tuners. Not sure if they support the Roush package as I am not sure what all that entails as far as the pcm goes, but HP Tuners does now support 04-07 F-Series 4.6 and 5.4

Thanks, but from my understanding thus far, Roush programming and Ford programming are different and I was told that they may (use may with caution) they use a different programming langauge. I sent an Email to SCT and I am waiting their reply. There is a Ford Guru about 30 miles from here on HWY 63 that does every Ford from the Lightnings to FOrd GT's so I may take a trip up there and ask him. Fords from all over the country go there to get blown, turbo'd and you name it. Thanks and I will look into HP tuners. I appreciate your response.

From my experience we can support SCT's files but cannot support roush's files because they disable the checksums in their files.

Thanks and can you please tell me what the checksum stands for. I have been seeing that word and like to know what the words mean. Is there anyway to edit the Roush programming? Why would they make the truck and then not let you enjoy all 450 hp. Can I increase the boost like on the lightnings with a screwdriver. Help Help Help. Oh I did have to put some drunk kid to rest tonight with his chipped up PowerStroke 250, When he caught back up he had the nerve to ask, "You got a supercharger in that thing?" I was like yea, it is kinda wrote on the hood." DUmb A.

Problem solved...................troyerperformance........ ............ will custom tune my truck. They will send me an SCT module, I will download the current program, I will sent it back to them and they will custom tune and open up the truck. They can do boost upgrades as well. I will keep you updated and let you know how it turns out. Thanks for all your help you offered.
