Sniper tuner and speed limiter help

99v6stang · July 12th, 2007, 03:02 PM

Okey so i got a sniper tuner, and everything seemed to work fine, the shifts are very fast, it fixed my spedometer from the gearing, but it wont raise the speed limiter. Ive tried reflashing it multiple times with the speed limiter set at 120, 130, 140, and unlimited, yet everytime it still shuts down at 117 (4,500) rpms. What is wrong? Also could anyone give my some tips on creating a better tune? Also i feel that my car has very little power from a dead stop, and ive narrowed it down to the problem must be backpressure. I have longtube headers, a high flow catted h pipe, and mac mufflers, all in 2.5" piping. So is there anyway i could add backpressure without replacing my exhaust?

Contact Chris at sniper tuning you have to have a custom template done like i did. ford switched the rev and speed limiters location in the pcm one a hand full of cars for an unknown reason. please tell me the full name of your pcm file it may even be the same as mine.

do not touch the Air fuel. i will be getting Snipers wide band package shortly and i will be making and testing and will advise from there but so far i am running 91 octane with advanced timing if +2 degrees for all 3 rpm ranges and +1 degree globally. do not touch the fuel though. if your running 87 do +1 for all 3 ranges and +1 globally.
