Well the reason your car has a 110 MPH speedometer is because it came with "S" rated tires from the factory...If it came with "Z" rated tires then it would have the 150 MPH speedometer. My 94 Z-28 is the same way...how many miles are on the car?? Seeing as how it only has a 110 speedo..the compter in the car will cut off fuel at 108MPH. Well i wish you luck...keep us posted
