SO far I'm the only one. I've PM Red Dragon asking for his situation and if his running into the same problem that I have. KB says that the chip is OK and does not need any retuning.CTGrey02 said:5300??? The rev limiter is computer controlled. That sounds like something got overlooked. Are any of the other KB guys like red dragon seeing that???
I will definitely do so. I just read on a different thread the following statement by scheister:B C said:I haven't been 135 mph but my car has been on the dyno numerous times in 4th gear up to 6100 rpms or so. I was told that the Kenne Bell chip does not modify the rev limiter whatsoever. But I would ask Ken to be sure. Hopefully you get this resolved soon.
I would get rid of that BBK and go back to the stock air box to be on the safe side for now.

Maybe you can take your car to ford and have them re flash your computer for the 4th gear rev limiter. That does not sound right. Have you taken it to redline in 4th gear before the KB? I have to say, I am very jealous of you. I want one of those KB kits so bad. Too bad I already sold my GT.

GitDat said:Interesting. If this problem gets resolved maybe this will help me figure out what the heck happens to my car after going WOT and upshifting and going WOT again. If I do that too slowly my car hesitates big time. It's like the fuel gets cut off or something..
I have an 01, and have had it upwards of about 130mph. I bet it does have something to do with the fact that you have 3.73's and no speed cal. the ECU gets a signal from the Vehicle Speed Sensor in the tranny. If there is a speed topping governor installed in the computer, I bet you are hitting it cause of the 3.73's. Something to look into.........2000GTnoExtras said:Are you possibly hitting a speed limiter rather than a rev limiter?I know my car falls flat on it's face at 120mph.
That is something that I need to look into. May be is a speed limiter that's cutting my off and not the rev limiter. It is very strange that the rev limiter kicks in at 6100 rpms from 1st to 3rd gear while it kicks in at 5400 rpms in 4th gearB C said:Does Roush put on a speed limiter?

Right, I have not recalibrated my speedo. Therefore, my speed is not correct. However, it felt REALLY fast. I estimate the real speed to be between 110-120 mph.CTGrey02 said:He isnt, his speedo isnt corrected
It did not. I called KB about this issue and they explained that they've eliminated the voltage adjustment knob on the 2v kit. The BAP has been set up in such a way to increase the fuel pump voltage by 50% all the time (or as long the pressure switch senses 3.5 psi of boost or more). This is becuase the fuel pump in GTs is not as good as that of Cobras. They need to delete the knob from the BAP installation instructions as it is confusing. I went nuts looking around for the knob...I thought they didn't ship it.Saleen s281 said:hey el kid did your boost-a-pump come with an adjustment knob?
