    I just installed a 3.4 pulley, have an overkill tuned pcm for a 3.4 installed already, just wondering if the overkill pcms remove the rev limiter bc it hesistates and loses power at 105 mph.

    if you were hitting the rev limiter it would bounce off of it and stating what rpms your at would help us figure that out

    that might just be all your car has because it shouldn't be doing that at 4500

    Does the check engine light flash at the same time?
    Do you have MSD coil packs?
    When were your wires and plugs last changed?
    What brands did you use?
    Why are you driving 105 anyway..lol

    Try using stock wires and see if it goes away, or don't drive faster than what your car will trap.

    Well the way you ask this question is contradicting. Are you talking about rev limiter, or speed limiter? You mention both.

    I have more or less the same setup as you and my car was doing the same thing. I'm telling you it is those crummy ZZP wires.. I changed my wires a few days ago and now all is well.

    stock wires are the best bang for the buck youll get. theyre fine even on heavily modded cars.

    Perhaps your throttlebody spacer is causing a vac leak. Also, what are your plugs gapped at? Also - yeah, never heard of a single person happy with ZZP wires.

    Stock wires work great. On the other hand PRJ's come in colors. Performance will be the same.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
