It does get to 108 in a serious hurry (not that I would speak from experience, but you might want to poll the line of 4 semi-trailers that I had to pass a few weekends ago). Would the TRD supercharger fit your fancy?

Oh, it definately goes, and once you reach that limiter, it still wants to go.



I miss the power

Is there a way to remove or turn off the limiter?

Yes there is way's to remove your governer but why would u want to. Your driving a full size pick up when would you ever need to reach those speeds. For one thing it's a truck not an autobahn cruiser, secondly governers are used for a reason, your tires and driveshaft are not rated nor made for going that fast even though the truck is capable of doing those speeds. All your doing by exceeding those speeds is damage to your vehicle.

I dont like to be limited...by anything.

Tires, and liability, are why vehicles are speed governed. The lowest speed rating OEM tire available is where they set it. If you were to fit H or V rated tires, go for it, but with stock tires, leave the limiter alone.



Having said that, I tested the top speed of my dad's 1965 Impala with 8.00 x 14 bias ply tires, but that was almost 40 years ago. It had a Corvette 327, but only a two speed transmission. At 100, the front end felt like it was getting airborne.
