Whipple stage 1 limiter?

[JDMontana]

My understanding is the Dark Horse from the factory has limiter set at 168 mph. Installeda Whipple from Ford and hit a wall at 5000rpm and 160 mph. I was in normal driving mode so could that be the issue or is something set incorrectly as a thought the limiter was disabled with supercharger installation?

Hey, wait, they re-enacted a daytime speed limit in 1999, didn't they?

(still wished I lived in Montana)

They don't want you flooring it in 7th gear (1:1) with the supercharger anyway, do they?

The stage 1 kit has a few different limiters. RPM is one of them......does not let you wind it out in WOT situations.

7th? It was in 10th

Not that I've had the opportunity to test yet, well... on the dyno but only stage 2 and beyond scrap the speed limiter.
You can't hit top speed int 10th, IIRC it's 8th(?), maybe different with the blower.

I agree with you, I also wish that I lived in Montana. At one time, the posted speed limit was "reasonable and prudent".

The limiter was never 140. I was to directly by Ford guys at the performance school that the GT was 149 and Dark Horse was 168. So please refrain from posting incorrect information or heresy. And I had a 24GT and can attest the limiter was 149.
