| Im trying to mod a school bus in a driving simulator, its a saf t liner hdx but it tops out at around 55, I think it can go way faster? Also are there any types/makes of school buses that can go faster or slower than others? Are type a/b/c/d school buses faster? brands like international/amtran, thomas, blue bird etc? also are newer school buses/engines capable of higher speeds, like a amtran with t444e vs a international with dt446e? |

Usually speed is a parameter that is set into the engine's computer. It is often a changeable parameter if you have the correct engine diagnostics program (ServiceMaxx, Cummins Insite, CAT ET, etc).
Road speeds are also often determined from state to state, district to district, etc. Here in Colorado, you are allowed to do 75 mph speed limit on the highway. It is our district policy though, that you can not do more than 65 mph. So as a mechanic, I have the ability to change the ECM parameters and dial back the speed a bit. |

>driving simulator
Do you have more detail on the driving simulator? It sounds like a smart training tool. I assume it will not burn any fossil fuel. |

| Just curious why would speed matter with a simulator? |
