Faster than 108 in 06 dodges

[Reb.B]

yes it will set a code, no light, it should work 03-05, easy to do, no ABS and no speed limiting. Only used for the time from 108-120+. no worry for airbags. easy simple, not sure why u would want anything else on an 06. 03-05 the rad box from BD works well. They put a zenior diode in and cut the MPH to 90. Can't do this with 06 because of the can bus system. Lots of ways for 03-05, but 06 and above i think this is the best, ... at least for now.

Seems like you would run out of RPMs way before you hit 120, I know I would in my truck. Not trying to be a nanny, but I can't imagine feeling safe doing 120 in my truck.

With 35's and 3. 73's at 3500 its 130+mph

does it set a code that somehow puts the engine in a limp mode or reduced power?

It will only work if you are running one of the smarty programs

That is obvious. That doesn't help you when your going 70mph down the interstate and a gasser pulls up beside you.



"hey wait buddy, I need to pull over and reprogram my smarty so I can go as fast as you... give me a second. "



It would be better to have it programmed in the downloader from the start. Or have it on a switch like Reb has so you can just flip the switch, When your done, flip the switch.

I was scared of the engine going into a limp or low power mode and it did NOT go into any kind of limp. It worked perfect. With 30. 5 tall tires in my 03 it does 119. 5 in the quarter mile with RPM left to burn

You could use a WOT switch and a nc relay. That way the wire would only be interrupted when you are in the loud pedal. If you needed your ABS/airbags I assume you would be off the accelerator.

when pulling the fuse is there any way the dealership can tell your odometer is not rolling and void your warranty? Just a thought.

Now that's an idea.



But doesn't the ABS take a second or 2 calibrate or something? But I suppose it's better to have something automatic as a posed to manual switch.



So we have a relay that you have it wired so that the ABS circuit is closed by default. Place a dash switch in to "enable" the system. Once you go WOT + armed. the relay will trip and open the circuit . You would disable the relay switching with the dash switch interrupting the WOT switch on the floor.



I'd do this so that can have a speed out when I'm under 108 and be at WOT.



Basically, in this case, you would use a relay the opposite you'd use it for an after market flood light or something.

Hey I just got back from another test and tune... haha



Anyways the key start trick does work. It takes like 3-4 seconds for the power to kick back up and still loose boost but turning the key to start and holding it in the start position will work and its easier then installing a switch. I havent tried it yet but maybe if you turn the key before it defuels it will be smooth and no transition.

I wish I had this...

Full story in the "great race stories" thread.



SS trailblazer vs SRT-I6 Cummins



Was a kid punk driver, Wouldn't do a heads up 65mph run. he insisted on staying 5 or 6 cars in front. So I'm like, what the heck. I gun it, he guns it at about 75mph (he was feeling me up from 65 to 75).



I put my passenger door next to the guy, Should of waved but had to back out. 108mph reached. woulda been nice to put a truck in front of the "factory race SUV" when I started out 6 behind.



But then again, it was 6:30am, and if you get cought over 100mph here, you loose you ride. So it's prolly a good thing.

What about the starter motor turning while the motor is running? Sounds like a good way to trash a starter, and ring gear.

Any new vehicle in the past 5 years will not allow you to "restart" your motor. if you turn the key, the starter does nothing.

Not Exactly.......

My Mom bought a new Hyundai Sonata earlier this year, and when we went to go pick it up, she got in, and it was already running, turned the key and "GGGGRRRRIIINNNDDDD" I couldn't help but to start :-laf

on wades truck he ran 110mph @ 3500rpm last weekend in the quarter with out pulled fuses or a speed eliminator, i thought our trucks governed out at 108 and 3400 rpm? was it the smarty or what?

That's and auto tho.



at 108mph I'm at 3000-ish give or take a 100rpm. The RPM's are a little lower since I have 295's compared to stock 265's. I'll have to run up to 108 in a day or so and see what the edge RPM tattle tail tells me. I think it's right around 3000rpm tho.



If I recall correctly the math I did when I got the 295's last year would in theory, if I didn't correct the ABS would put me at 111mph.

ok this site's math looks accurate.



I put in my 295/70/17's. . 73 6th gear. and 3. 73. 3000rpm = 109.



I have seen 109 a few times on the ege thing. so I'm right. 3000rpm = 109 in my truck.



According this this, 127 at 3500rpm. so 125-ish at 3400.

 

[Reb.B]

it will hit 110 and then go back to 108 MPH. He must have been close to the back door when he was at 110

 

[Old Smoky]

I'll have to take your word for it. I'm too afraid to try it. :-laf
