Default cant wait to open er' up..

so i installed everything a few weeks back.. (sct, 40%reduced u/ds and k&n) and 93 octane. the improvements are pretty impressive but i haven't had a chance to see what it'll top out at and how fast it'll get there since i live in town and the closest clear stretch is i-10 at night... (last time bout 2 months ago it got about 115..)

ive had mine up to 115 as well i thought it was computer limited though. Being mine is an auto it kinda shifted into a cruiseing gear that or just dropped in rpm or im completely wrong and she just didnt have any more to give me lol

lol... i would have also gotten 4.10's+T-Lock then "open her up". as for the limiter, the stock tune shuts it off at 115MPH. i don't see a need for going that fast anyway.

Well, considering your rpms at 115mph are probably around 3k ish..you'll see maybe 125 or something... still no need to go that fast..you really want to see the difference go to a track

The fastest I went in my v6 with just a few more mods than you have is about 130mph in 3rd hitting about 5500 rpm. Shouldn't have gone that fast. Fastest in the GT so far is 135 mph, I don't know what the speed limiter is for it, if it has one, but I don't really want to go that fast again haha.

not yet, haven't got a chance... the only good (safe... haha) interstate is about 6 miles from my house and i'll have to go to the next exit, but i'll probably go visit some family for an excuse to get out there..
