lt with better tires i think is at 120mph


99% of the time they wont for you and arent supposed to
usually and for almost all people...you ahve to get a tune
Same here I feel a resistance at 125 mph but since I got the turbo on I would say I can probably get it up to 135 - 138 mph if I push it but I won't bother.
Those speeds are insane and I would not recommend it unless you upgraded the front and rear brakes, suspension, wheels, control arms, sway bars .......................................

Wait so you maxed out at 77 mph? I think i can go like 75 ish in 3rd gear but i have the 5 speed. What set up do you have that limits you to 77? cuz that seems kinda slow. I have had mine up to 95 on the flat desert road to vegas but never wanted to attempt anything faster then that. because at 95 I felt that if some one cut me off i might rear end them.

i take mine in between 115-120 on a weekly basis

with a 3.4% speed increase because of tires

so that is 119-124

handles good at those speeds too with the 245/40/18s

My tires are rated for 170, not that I'll ever go that fast. Well, maybe after a few years.

Please preach elsewhere.

My balt with the turbo tops out at 135 from the limiter. I talked to hahn about this, and they told me to hook up a toggle switch that turns off my speedo. This has worked on mine.

On my wifes stock (minus my old injen intake), hers hits 115~118.
