what do you mean by legally? going over the spped limit isnt legal? do you mean like not removing governors and what not?

Sure ... or at the drag strip or track //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Here's a question ... how many of you have reached your top speeds legally ? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
Bet theres only a handul.

well, we changed gear ratios and went out to an old air strip, the car had nothing like it usually does off the line, but it pulled like a train on the top end. i lost my digital instument panel, but on the speedo i caught a glance of around the 175/180 area. on the strip i run like 120's-130's depending on how i gear it.

159 on an airport strip - clocked by a deputy sheriff friend of mine.

Does that count? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Yes, it does. As long as your not putting other people's lives at risk //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Was the 159 in the Firebird ?

Actually that's in a modified police cruiser.

I've only seen 157 in my Firebird, not sure if it'd give me 160 or not.

It *should* do 160.

Weren't 94's advertised as having a top speed of 155, and the 99/00's at 160 ?

I'd have to pass doubt on the 94's doing 155 - but I do know the current versions LS1 equipped units will do 160, but that's right at the brink of it's limits. I'm sure I could have gotten it, had I wanted it bad enough - but I was close enough. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Performance Data (1994):0-60: 5.7 sec. (advertised)

1/4 mile: 14.2@98.5 mph (advertised)

Top Speed: 155 mph (advertised)

I don't know, I've never seen a 94' do 155 ...

But ... on another note, I'd like to know if there's any truth to this:

When your car was built it came with either a 120 MPH or a 160 MPH speed limiter. You received the slower limit if you didn't choose to purchase the optional Z rated tires. Along with the 120 MPH limiter you possibly also have a steel driveshaft. If you upgraded to the Z rated tires you got the 160 MPH limiter and the aluminum driveshaft.
The speed limiter in our cars is controlled by the PCM (engine computer) which will cut the fuel when the car is going over the programmed limit. If you change the rear end gears the PCM will no longer know how fast your car is really going, it will still think the car is going the speed shown on the speedometer and so the real speed at which the speed limiter activates will change. You can see the indicated top speed change by looking at the charts below.

Our speedometer corrector goes between the PCM and the speedometer and corrects the speedometer without telling the PCM that anything has changed. There is nothing my device can do to adjust your top speed, it will only correct your speedometer and odometer readings. Correcting the top speed limiter requires that the PCM be reprogrammed with the correct gear ratio. This can be done with an HPP-3, or with custom tuning.

Actually there is truth to that...

If you ordered Z rated tires with your car from the factory, they also moved the limiter up to 162MPH - from the standard 123 that it would normally be at.

I read that a long while ago somewhere, exactly where is beyond me right now, but there is truth to it.

That's pretty cool //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I don't have a limiter anymore, I don't know why - it's not like I drive that fast anyways //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Merry Christmas, btw.
