Find someone with the HP Tuners for it. That removes it I believe. Or do what Steve said and use the LS1edit.

So that if some moron was out driving 140 MPH and a tire let go and got himself or someone else killed they would have no liability issues to deal with..when you are a OEM you have to deal with theat kind of ****...V8 F body cars will run way past 118 MPH in stock configuration..higher speed rated tires were available and those cars that came equipted with them did not have speed limiters set that low..beleive it or not some people do not drive these cars as fast as they will go.
