Default SCHOOL BUS W/7.3. NEED HELP

I was wondering if there is a chip or programmer available for this motor/bus to unleash some more power. The techs at the truck shop said they can hook up to the computer and get rid of the 65 mph speed limit but had to check to see what kind of tuning is available. Waiting to hear from him yet so i figured id ask you guys. Any ideas or tips and tricks would be helpfull!!!
Thanks!
Chris

It's a 3800 international, the engine is a t444e. Is there any reason why they couldn't turn it up by getting into the ecm?
