I can assure you, an LS1 Z28 does not shut down anywhere near 108mph.

It is whatever the pcm is set at. to a max of 255 mph. I don't even recall what mine was stock. Probably 155.

Now the real question is how fast will it go. And I don't know. But than again I only have 485 rwhp. So probably not much over 180.

my friend has a z with 2.73 and at 155 his tach is almost at redline
so with a 3.23 i cant see how its possible to go 155 with the rev limiter.
only one way to find out
