Uh.

What are you looking for? "Fast" is not really a term in numbers. Your max speed before it hits the limiter? Why does it matter, you shouldn't be going that speed anyway.

How quick will it do the 1/4 mile? Probably 20 seconds if you're lucky.

As I'm sure you know...your truck is not meant for racing.

110 or so, maybe 95 is what the speedometer would show with your tires if you haven't adjusted for them.

A programmer can remove the limiter so you are able to blow the engine if that tickles your fancy.

Still hung up on "faster" huh?

Your question doesn't make sense and I'm trying to figure out what your really looking for here.

It will be "slower" with larger tires.

If you go bigger with tires, your speedo should be reading slower, not faster... So if you're doing 55mph, it may read something like 52. Depends on your tire size. I had something like 32.5s when I had my 22s on up until recently and it was about 3mph off.

But... going with bigger tires couldn't make you go faster... maybe while offroading depending on the tire, but on pavement? More grip/traction depending on the kind and size maybe, but faster.... no. If for no other reason, they'd be heavier than stock tires, which would make you slower. If you wanted to get some of the oomph back from the tires getting bigger, you should regear.

Dont be stupid while driving and you wont blow the engine. The programmers really help. But if your planning on going fast enough to blow your engine, it may not be for you.

Problem:

Programmer(de-limiting option) + engine = faster + blown engine

Solution:

(Programmer - de-limiting option) + engine = faster - blown engine
