im really not sure, i kind of have the same problem. I have a 94 ls and me and my buddy decided to see how fast i could get it up to one day. i floored it on the freeway and it couldnt get past 110mph, the speedometer needle just fluctuated at 110. is this because of a speed limiter or something and if it is how could i take it off?

its in your computer get a race rev or similar computter that has no rev limit be cautious though miss-shifting can cause a serious over-rev and mess up the motor

Please for the love of everything that somebody could hold holy (In my case my car), don't get some dumb computer for your car!!! When was the last time that your car had a complete tune up? The last time that you did your valve lash? The last time you did any maintenance to your car? These are some very important limiting factors.... and did I mention that you really shouldn't be doing these types of things on public roads????
