you have a speed limiter on your car. you can change that and the rev limiter with a hand held program or have it tuned by someone.

Your speed limiter is set based on the tire rating the car came from the factory with. You can change it with any edit program.

its a saftey thing. The tires that GM put on the car on the assym line were only good for 115. I wouldnt change it or go any faster untill you got a Z rated tire.
