GEN 2 107 MPH Speed limiter

[iumbastu]

Over the last month or so, I keep hitting 107 speed limiter, in my 2017 screw, and it’s driving me *%^# crazy.

Did my dealer slip her something when he was under the hood at the last check up? I don’t think I ever saw a limiter until just after the last service...

Is there an easy fix? Thank you in advance

Local dealers should be willing to hook you up. less than 110 on the Mass Pike could get you shot.

Only way around I’ve ever heard of is a tune

Glad I don’t live in Boston.

107 MPH is the speed limit for the OEM KO2s. I don't believe that that's something that can be changed with FORScan; you'll need a tune to defeat the limiter, and I'd recommend different tires, too.

Exceeding the speed rating of an oversized, offroad tire in a high center of gravity vehicle with a soft suspension, what could go wrong?

 

[jaz13]

Joking aside, centripetal forces are exponential (F=mv^2/r). This means going from 100mph to 125mph increases the loading on the tire by nearly 60%. Running tires over the speed rating, even by a little bit is a very bad idea. In high-speed cars, the tire is almost always the limiting factor.

speed rating are obtained my running max pressure , max load , max temp for extended period of time 60 mins i believe. A brief hit to higher mph than rated wont do squat

Exactly. Drag radials on my Hellcat are rated to 165 but guys have been 190+ on them

It also includes running tires that don't have any damage on a smooth surface. An innocuous cut or bump in the road at 80mph could trigger a fatal blowout at 125.

Overloading a tire by 60% turns you into a test pilot since you are pushing tires well past their design limits. Of course, the laws of physics don't apply to do you, so feel free to disregard.
