I am one of those people privileged to live near Sebring, FL, where you can get on the track and drive your car to its limits.

I know that the limit is 121 mph. I would like to know if I could get it to go a little faster.

Does anyone have any software that could remove or reset the top speed limit parameter?

 

As far as I know the only companies that do that are: Arden, EuroTek, MRD, Paramount, and EuroToys... They are all kind of pricey though.. If you find someone down here in FL that has the capabilities, please PM me.. Eric

 

Was about to say the same companies...

 

FloridaJag, odds are, I think you will end up going with an aftermarket ECM to get the desired out come. Most manufacturers have that as a hardwired input into the computer. You may want to try and talk to your local dealership, but I think you will find that they will either be unwilling to make the change or tell you that it is a pre-set thing that they can't change even if they wanted to.

 

Yeah, the dealership is unwilling to do anything for "liability reasons." Of course, they probably don't have that capability anyway. I may try and find one of those who modifiy Ford ECU's. Since the S-type is based on a Lincoln LS, maybe I have a fighting chance.

 

FloridaJag, take a look at a company called SCT. A lot of guys with Ford trucks have been very happy with the products that they have bought from them. These chips are a little bit more expensive, but they continue to back their products long after your buy them. The other benefit is that they are programmable as many times as you want. So, as you upgrade your car with new exhaust, new intake, etc, you can write to SCT and they will bring up your current program, make the necessary modifications, and then send the new program back to you. If I remember right, the updated programs are either free or come at a very low price.

There's a lot of different options out there when you are looking at aftermarket ECU's. I would recommend getting a slightly more expensive one mainly for the fact that they tend to be customized to your car, not programmed with a generic set of instructions. This will help ensure you get the most out of your car.

 

The Jaguar and the Lincoln LS use completely different ECM and control systems. They share a number of hard parts but not electronics.
