Hey supernatural, is that your truck??? the reason am asking is that this the same truck that Ken Block has, right?! no mistakes here i am 100% sure this is his. black matte, black rims, same room. in his Facebook page it is said that it was a gift from Ford.

Solid catch on that picture, I went back up and sure 'nuff it's Ken Block's Rap.

Drive shafts..pftt. Here is my take on this "Drive shaft" issue. I routinely take my Raptor over 100mph and hit 122mph on a regular basis and I have had 0 issues with the drive shaft. I have video of us catching air on a bumpy stretch of lonely highway at around 100mph. It was fun. Corners get a bit harry with the amount of body roll I have.

If you are worried about snapping your drive shaft, make yourself a drive shaft loop. I one in my race car. I have yet to snap a drive shaft.

OP: You need a tuner to remove the speed limiter. You'll probably void your warranty doing so. FYI.

Programmer for speed limiter

Gents, I am taking delivery of my 2013 on Thursday and the build will begin immediately. I am having an authorized Ford dealer do a Whipple SC install. I want to purchase a tuner/programmer just to remove the speed governor on the truck. Does anyone have a suggestion for one to do just that?

A couple of things...you can't get a tuner just to unlock the speed limiter. You will fry the tune itself. If you get an SCT with the Whipple, you can unlock it but I doubt that you will. The great and wonderful thing with the computers in the trucks now is that if you make changes to the tune, the computer will report those changes to the Ford dealer when you blow up your truck or have warranty related issues. In short, if you want your warranty, you can't unlock the speed limiter. If you do not care, get your truck to a "good" shop with a good tuner to custom tune your truck on a dyno.

here, on frf
there is no point. the tires are not rated for those speeds. unless you are talking about street drag, with which you purchased the wrong truck.....
