I wanted the HEMI. I dont speed too much, but when I got on her, she was cutting out at 95mph!!! Is this true??? A 95 mph governor ?!?!

I have a Predator tuner, you can reset to 130 mph. The reason for the lower speed is the truck tires are not rated for high speeds. My 05 4x4 hemi will hit the 130 governor that the Predator allows. I upgraded the shocks to Rancho 9000's , that helps a lot with high speed stability. Somebody drove a 2wd Hemi Ram almost 170 mph at Bonneville I recall. If you do take off the governor with a tuner, don't drive faster than the speed ratings on your tires! I'm pretty sure a blowout at 130 would not be fun. Oh yea, make sure your tires are balanced really well.

Superchips cortex (comes with warranty) set the speed as high as you want if you not going to do major engine work ie;cam heads etc. if thats on your list diablo is probably your best bet

I got a 05 1500 with the Daytona Trim. It is stock except for a cold air intake and real dual exaust with flomasters. I can get "er" up to 110 MPH with 20" wheels. Anyone know if there is a difference in HP on the Daytona and "standard trim" on the Hemi trucks?
PS, I also have a 392 limited slip rear end.
