    Greetings. My new to me 06 Volvo will the D12 engine , and 435 HP, is governed at 63 mph. And max RPM of 2k. I plan to take it in to the dealer to have the governed speed increased. Are there any other parameters I should have the set while it is there. I was told by another driver to ask for "factory settings". I don't know what they are, nor could he explain them to me. Any suggestions on what to set the parameters would be a great help.
    Normally I drive speed limits, but it would be nice to be able to just get out of someone else's way sometimes

    Stuff like torque and horsepower, companies like to detuned engines to make it "fuel efficiency" even change max rpm for each gears. So factory setting could cover all but some people like to personalize it. Like no auto shutoff and max idle rpm

    2200rpm max. I'd leave it alone and just raise the road speed a little.
