Pay someone that has EFILive or HPTuners to change it.

Your PCM should be set to cut fuel at 6200 RPMs and your top speed should be set at 160 MPH OEM.

If it's shutting down at 4000 RPMs through all of the gears you have something else going on.

True. If the car came w/o Z rated tires, it was speed limited to 118 I think.

Like kenp said though, if it's not running past 4k RPM you have other issues.
