Default Top speed 95 mph

2007 Ford F-150 Harley Davidson Supercharged. I want to get the EMS deregulated for maximum speed. Anyone can give me any helpful advise to get this done.

Tighten the nut behind the wheel and it will be fast enough.

lol....for those of us that think 96 is not NEAR fast enough....the only way around this is to use an aftermarket 'tuner' or 'programmer'.
EDGE products seem to be popular.

Buy a Mustang, you own a TRUCK for which the wheels, tries, and bearings were not designed to even go 95 for extended periods of time.

lies, all lies. However certain tires are only rated at certain speeds, exceed them and you may have a blowout so you might wanna check out the speed rating on your particular tires. Your bearings will be just fine. An aftermarket tuner is the only way to remove the speed limiter.

Edge and Bully are by far the most F150 friendly. That will be the only way to go any faster. Everything else. Make sure you have the proper speed rated tires, and those guys were sorta right about the bearings. They are designed to go that fast but not for a prolonged time. They need to cool. If you wanna go that fast you may need another choice of vehicle. Your frame is not different from my frame, minor suspension differences, and the motor has more *****. A truck is designed around work, and family. My buddy has a hemi, and he has topped it out about 160, and he has had to make major changes just to feel safe at 120.

Mine truck stops at 103 so I dont see why an '07 HD F150 stops at 95.

Mine is totally stock and I made a top speed run on the highway and its definately over 100.

He has a super charged truck, he can't go with your basic tuner off the shelf. You will need a custome tuner such as Troyer, VMP, or PHP to create a custom tune for you on a Xcal or Gryphon. Using the Xcal and Gryphon will allow you to change the settings and increase your HP and TQ since they will be providing better tunes than the stock ones you are currently using.
