Default Got my car tuned tonight.

A neighbor of mine ran some tests on my car and raised the 3-4 gear shift to 124mph, and took off speed limiters and injector cut offs. Idk how much else was done but I like it. Got to top it out at 109 once, then hit 113 after the tune and still had some to go *i was going uphill and took like a half mile lol* Im pretty happy, also got in an order today from a certain site.

Anyone else got some suggestions for other stuff to alter on a stock NA 3800?

HE used hptuner to read it and some other program to actually tune it. He does alot of his own work on his car and knows alot about it so I trust him. And thanks for the thought Space but dont worry space it felt pretty planted at that speed lol.

Don't raise them any above 6000. I recommend 5900, because if you go over 6000 you're risking valve float and/or possibly breaking the springs.

If you're top swapping, do mods that will transfer over, so you're not wasting money. Basically - headers, intake.
