Guest TurboSedan Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 what do you guys hit yours at? i finally got to test out the top speed (albeit in 4th) since i have the test pipe. i got to 116 MPH, and the car just kinda shut down for a moment or two, and then everything was normal after decelerating 2 mph. i went at it again and the speed limiter kicked on at the same 116 mph. i am using '90 Grand Prix wiring harness, ECM, & calibration but i thought the speed limiter was more like 124 MPH or so? i could have gone faster, *maybe* 125-130 MPH. and yes my speedo is spot on. any feedback welcome joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 My 89 cutlass's limit at 116-117, parents 92 Lumina 3.1 at 116, my 91 GP 3.4 limited at 125. Haven't had the Z up there yet, but I'm hoping 125 or higher. Some people claim no limiter from factory, but I can't see how a few would luck out.

supreme_style21 Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 I don't even DARE try it in my new heap! The thing shakes like a b*tch as soon as she hits 80! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89oldscutlass Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Neither one of my 89 cutlass supremes have the speed limiter.I have maxed both of them out.The 2.8 I had around 134mph and the 3.1 about 127mph.My buddys lumina had one on it and it shut down at 115mph.I didnt even know they put them on any of the cutlass supremes.Is the car from california?My dad had a 91 cutlass supreme with a 3.1 in it and it didnt have it either.

Bolt_Crank Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 my speedo stops at 180 km/h (112.5 mph) so I don't know exactly what it cuts out at, but from the acceleration feel, and feedback from the steering wheel, it cut out at about 200km/h (125MPH) or so...

Â i was thinking that maybe since i'm using a '90 5-speed GP chip, i might not have a speed limiter but it obviously does. i'm going with a custom chip when the TGP engine goes in anyway, and making many adjustments to it in the process. Â and those are some surprising #'s for the 2.8/3.1 top speed. :?: joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90prix3.1 Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 My 90 prix must not have limiter either cause I had my to 125mph racing a damn camaro v-6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdelorie Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 I *suspect* mine's at 126mph/202km/h... just given rate of acceleration past 180 km/h and the amount of time after it's buried that I hit it. Â She's as smooth as silk at that speed. 2000 dollars worth of suspension/steering/tires later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismellrealbad Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 105 i guess im kinda glad its there though........if it was any higher i would probably do top speed runs more often, thus frying my DURABLE 4T60E and im sure id get pulled over too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouija Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 is there any aftermarket speed gauge that goes up to 230-240 kmh out there for our cars..cuz mine only goes up to 180km crap!....but i know since i got the chip it pulls for a long time after i hit the 180 km mark.only on drive tho..in overdrive i cant go past 180or 190kmh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Is the speed limiter built into the memcal? I suppose it has to be, since it can be overidden. Man, I'd give anything for non-speed limited memcals for my Z and CS. Â And no, my CS is not a California car, it was purchased new in ND.

Guest TurboSedan Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Â just buy a chip its as simple as that...119$ http://www.fastfwdperformance.com/ Â i wish it was that easy for me. i'm swapping in a TGP engine and have a 5-speed so i'm REALLY REALLY hoping Mick can make me one. he hasn't been on here for a LONG time tho. TGPilot used to make them, but not anymore joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
