Any way to lower top speed?

Has anyone found a programmer that will allow you to lower the top speed to 75-80 for example? I’ve found a gps one that cuts fuel but speed is not programmable and is low, like 73mph. Looked around and emailed but all dead ends.

If it is possible a Tech2 Scanner would be the tool.

Speeding tickets are usually lowering that speed pretty effective. But really, what is the reason for that? Just curious.

I adjust my right foot to increase and decrease speed of vehicle, the speedo and depth perception come into play also.

That's a first, wanting to get it to go slower. Most people are looking to make their vehicle look better, or get better gas mileage, or to make it go faster. Gonna be interesting to see how this pans out.

Step 1) Cut large hole in floorboard.
Step 2) Put car in neural.
This mod is 7 on a scale of 1-10

Now, this is a legitimate question, no need for pictures of blondes in convertible’s.
So, I simply suggest, take it up to the speed you wish, engage cruise control, and cruise!

Governor behind gas pedal is the most efficient.

There are electronic nannies you can plug into the OBD port that will do this - for a monthly fee. If you are monitoring a teen for a few months, maybe.

Most people would hate the hell out of it.. Memories of Carter-era gas-saving devices are already hurting my head...
