Raise speed limiter on 2007 Jayco Seneca 34SS?

Yahoo Message Number: 7871
Recently we went cross country with our new to us
2007 Jayco Seneca 34SS, while it had plenty of power
I was a bit disappointed that it topped out at 75mph,
it could be tickled up to 76-77 playing with the cruise control.
It has a Banks box, Ottomind I believe but not with the optional
controller. I would like to get a bit more mph for safer passing
when at the higher speed limits permissible on some highways.
Passing at a 2 mph difference is not what I consider safe and
is a nuisance to any behind me.
Has anyone addressed this issue?

The reason our chassis are limitied to 75 mph is that's the rating on tires.
That being said. My Diablosport Predator will change the upper limit. PPE programers do the same.

I don't want to sound like the old curmudgeon in the crowd by any means,
but I really have to question the need to run faster than 75 mph in a
motorhome. Especially when towing a car either flat or on a dolly. My
Vue is limited to 65 mph when being flat towed and the dollys I've
looked at aren't good for much more.

Don't mean to start a flame war, but safety seriously takes a hit when
soft sprung coaches have the do any sort of maneuver at high speed.

Take care,
Greg

I don't want to go 100mph just to be able to pass faster than a crawl.
A lot of places the legal speed limit is 70/75 and that is what the trucks will drive if able.
I would rather not be the one being passed as the nuisance vehicle
plugging along at something lower than the speed limit.
I am hoping to find out if the display unit for the Banks Ottomind will provide an increase in speed, 80/85 would be fine with me.
As far as soft suspension goes I have upgraded that with Koni's and airlift air springs plus a steering stabilizer and rear trac bar.
I am going to adjust the rear Koni's to a stiffer setting but it does pretty good as is.
I don't worry about flame war stuff, how can you get varied opinions
if you have paper thin skin?

There is a pretty good section of I15 in Utah that is posted at 80mph. Most of the big trucks are driving at about 70 thru there. I don't drive much faster than 65. I don't have a problem of being the passed as that is what the other lane is for. I get my best mileage and comfort between 60 and 65. I can go a lot faster but have no reason to. I'm retired and kicking back.

You can do all the upgrades you want to the suspension. The Limiting factor for speed has always been TIRES put on this chassis.
