Read again!! I said when my car was STOCK that means before i put the jet module and mass air sensor or anything on it. There is or was no limiter on my 06' LT

u obviously havent read my last few posts

there are 2 limiters, one for around 110ish and one for 130

this is due to the fact of the 2.2s coming with 2 different tires, one rated for 112 and one rated for 130

i was just asking because my car came with the tires rated for 130, but my speedo only said 120 instead of the one that goes to 140, so for some reason i was under the impression that i might have been limted to 112

but like someone said, the speedo doesnt matter, its all about the tires

I had my 06 ls up to 125mph on christmas and that was still a couple hundred rpms before the end of 3rd gear lol and it was still pulling decent. And yes tuning is the only way to go if you want to go faster because originally my car stopped at 105
