I was asking because If it was retuned the tuner may have turned it down on accident. Happend to me before

Mine wouldnt rev as high until it had a speedo signal. Get it off your front abs speed sensor or get a sensor and pick up wheel for your transmission. Bet thats your problem.

I was just thinking about this. With tiring the speedo into the front ABS sensor, won't this be ineffective if you are dynoing your car? Because your speedo would read 0 the entire time, and maybe still not allow you to go over 5800 to 6000 and negatively affecting your dyno numbers?

after I wired up vss sensor to abs and speedo worked. I took it for a spin down the highway. speedo climbs
then at 115mph 5800-6000 its back bouncing on the rev limiter.

I have no way to wire it to my rear end, has a 9 inch and all abs is deleted from car. the front sensors are still there tho.. taking it to my tuner tonight to have him hook up the car and see whats going on. just talking to him all the factory t56 sensors needs to be deleted out of the tune. hopefully find out tonight!

You fixed the problem? Probably you have to delete all the transmission information and work only with the engine parametters.

sz28aro, that sucks man. I am in a similar situation as you where my car is not exactly acting up like yours is, but that still doesn't change the fact that I have no speedo. Because of the situation I posted up above, I am thinking about just doing this thing the correct way and putting a reluctor wheel and the TH400 VSS sensor in my tranny. Then wiring it up that way. I'll keep you guys updated.
