Fuel cuts out at 121 mph, ive exhausted every desperation into getting it higher but theres nothing out there that is compatible to get programmed for my computer. I know you guys have to know wsomething about getting the limiter off. If you have something for me let me know ill buy it. Thanks. --

your speedo is off...it should cut at 118. What year car do you have? HP Tuners will work on 97-02 v6 fbodys. If you have a 1996, then you might consider upgrading to a 1997 pcm.
...and for the 100000x, you DONT have 400hp

Alright, awesome. So where do i get a 97 pcm and where do i get the hp tuner?

Your PCM thinks its hitting 118 so something is off...I call bs on a cop allowing you to test it. If he did, then he is just as big an idiot.
Also, dont let hypertec crap anywhere near your car. You have an s/c'd motor, you need a good custom tune...preferrably by someone who knows what they are doing.
PCMFORLESS.com can do 1996 programming for your car, but once you go with forced induction, I really recommend getting custom tuned with a wbo2

If the gears were there when you got the car, someone probably yanked the needle off and tried correcting it that way. --

If that's y'alls idea of fun, then yes he's an idiot along with you. Let's see how much fun you guys think it is when someone cuts you off, pulls out in front of you, probably killing someone in the process, or you hit a rough spot in the road and end up wrapped around a tree.

slinky. tune that shit out. invest in hptuners and check out some v6 tuning forums. you can start with basic stuff ie. speedo calibration and gear changes and what not...but eventually you'll figure out how to tune with a/f gauges and for cams heads etc. its a good tool to have. check it out if you got some spare cash.

its an "if" situational statement. aka we're not saying that you DID wrap around a tree...we're saying that theres a more likely chance you WILL wrap around a tree. simply physics.
tire blows out at 55...vs tires blow out at 120. --

Just because its a huge road, theres nobody on it, its really early in the morning, and your cars speedo says it can go 125, doesn't mean you should. My speedo says 155, and it will do well over that, but it doesn't mean I'm gonna go out and try it. Have I ever nailed it on an empty road, sure. Was it smart, nope. Plenty of things can happen that you're not aware of. Could be water on the road, maybe a car had an oil leak, so then theres oil on the road, an animal or person could be crossing the road, have a low tire and cause it to blow, or a cop could be sitting and waiting. You never know. Yes, its always gonna be tempting on a wide open road, but somewhere between the temptation and the action, is the responsible/safe alternative. -- Trent

HP tuners is awesome... we use it with our racecars and they'll do alot of good for you. Like Jeramiah said.. you need a 97 computer if you have a 96. they're like $50-75 online. Im in the process of getting one myself and you can use that to adjust your speedo if its off.. when we put a new gear in the rear it made mine off by about 6 mph. -- www.slowtimemotorsports.com
