Deleting 72mph Top speed limiter...

I cruse a lot at 65/70 for long stretches and the General never misses a lick and really doesn't feel like your going that fast. Really never give it a second thought but in reality cant see any need to go faster in one of these things! >:)
I can’t see any need either but it was sure fun to try once!!
 
I had an ecu that eliminated the speed limiter and tuned for 91 octane fuel. I had it going 85mph one time but you would have to be on flat ground or slightly down hill to go any faster than that. I cruise mine down the road all the time around 60-65 mph once you do it a few times it’s about like driving a car down the highway. I have a full cab enclosure though so the wind isn’t blowing in my face either. The wind probably makes it feel worse than it actually is.
 
This can be done by an ecu flash but they are kind of expensive. you could call one of the ecu tuning places and ask them if they can just remove the speed limiter and raise the rev limiter and not mess with timing or anything else they may do this I'm not sure. I have a tuned ecu from hct it does this but a few other things also. You must run at least 91 octane with this tune.
 
I got the ecu back from benchmark and nothing changed everything is exactly the same. They said they are going to have to get a general into their shop and do some testing to get it figured out. So if u live near Escondido CA. take your general to Chris and let him figure it out. His number is (760) 484-0986 if your interested.
 
I email Chris at benchmark performance and he told me my ecu shipped out today. They said they raised the rev limiter to 9200 rpm and the speed limiter to 90. Normally they mess with the timing also but they didn't have a machine to test it on so they left that alone. I want to say thanks to Chris and everyone at benchmark and I will let you all know how it works.
 
I just sent my ecu too benchmark performance to get it reflashed. They have never done a general before so they are gonna go through mine and figure them out and remove the speed limiter and raise the rev limiter hopefully. They told me since it's the first one they have done they will do it for free. I will post the results when I get it back.
