Top speed questions Im sure alot will laugh, but I just wanna make sure on this. If im right, my 96 trans am shouldn't be speed limited to 85MPH right? The guy i got the car from gave me a crazy story about his wife telling him either it had to have a 85 mph speed limiter or he had to sell it. I figured he was just bluffing or BSing, but it looks to be true, because it sure shuts down at 85.

IDK, other than that the car is strong, im checking with a buddy at the dealership, we are going to try to flash it with a stock PCM calibration.

When i got my car there was a hypertech with it. after a trans rebuild and gear change I took it to Bryan's house ( PCMforless) and he cleared the hypertech and said it had been set at 110.

If you remove the speed limiter or set it at stock you should be able to get up to 120 pretty easy on a stock setup. Anyone with mild bolt ons and a tune should be able to get up to 150.

Yea, my I/E vert did 120mph the first day I had it, and I wasn't even close to asking for all it had - 300bhp will get you to 150mph in any car with reasonable aerodynamics.
