Either way the computer pulls the timing and fuel from the car and if you keep trying to run it it can cause serious KR which is not good.

Also, who cares about top speed anyways, especially on an SS that's almost stock. Go for some engine parts that actually increase hp and not a junk Jet Performance thing like Chibi said. There's a thread stickied at the top of this section (Engine & Transmission) that has a pretty good explanation formodding a 3800.

If for some odd reason you only want to barely beat your friends car, just get a PCM from ZZP at ZZPerformance.
I thought 6th gen limiters were 112ish?

IDC much anyway, fck a 6th gen

5th gen = best

I looked into it, and it appears that the factory limiter is 125mph for a 6th gen SS.

Both nitehawkjcb's 5th gen and my 5th gen would have no problem facing most 6th/7th gen Monte's out there, so say what you will



Unless we couldn't get traction that is

I really didn't mean for that one to escape the censor grasp lol

And Lou,

I'd rock a Lumina over a 6th gen any day. Would have to be an LTZ of course.

I didn't mean to get you guys all fired up. I like both of your cars and I'm sure there faster than mine. I've been looking for a 5 gen for a few weeks now for a second vehicle.
