Top speed limited

[SuperStarr01]

Does anyone know how I can get my top speed limiter to allow me to go faster than 126?? I am so sick of it cutting out at 126 when there is so much more left.

[ninnyGTP]

How about stop driving 126MPH before you kill yourself or someone else

[SuperStarr01]

I own a ton of land where its fine to go that fast. Whats the point of being able to go that fast if you never do it?

[DanGTP]

You wanna go faster, you gotta tune it. You better be throwing some Z-rated tires on that thing if you plan to go faster than the factory limiter settings.

[SuperStarr01]

I have the Eagle HP Ultra Plus tires on the car. They are z rated. I was reading some grand prix stuff, and there was a section that said even if you buy a tuning chip, like the one Jet makes for $500 you still can not bypass the 126 limit. So if someone knows more about that, I would love the info.

this. your cars gonna spin a bearing.

[SuperStarr01]

What oil do you mean. The engine or supercharger? I change both of them on a regular basis

[Bio248]

doesnt matter. at that speed and load the motor isnt getting oiled anymore. have fun blowing up your motor.

[SuperStarr01]

Ok then that leads me to another question. If I blow the motor, big deal. I would love to build one that pulls alot more HP. So how would I make it so the motor keeps getting oil at the higher speeds and bigger loads?

[matt5112]

run 5w50 and the oil volume kit thing.

not sure how much of a difference that would make though.

5w50 might be a tad extreme though...

[SuperStarr01]

Hey thanks alot, I am going to look into that.

[Bio248]

i ran 10w40 in mine. thicker oil = more oil pressure.

however, top speed runs ruin a lot more than just the motor. point one: the transmission. why do you want to do that fast? there is literally no reason to.

so under normal conditions what would be a safer top speed? obviously 126+ is a little too crazy for our cars, but what about running at 90-100? sorry to thread jack btw.

[ninnyGTP]

I've had my governor tuned out on all 3 of my Grand Prixs for years. STILL don't drive over 100+. Hell, even at the track I only trap 98mph.

[matt5112]

if you cant trap it in the quarter mile, dont bother running it in a grand prix.

[ninnyGTP]

I just don't see the point of the thread really. Not like there's much to be had 100+ let alone 130+

Not like with the governor you're opening up this cars potential. Everyone knows these cars blow top end. Only logical explination I can think of is reckless driving and I refuse to give advice to such a cause.

[matt5112]

these cars arent that safe in anything but a frontal collision IIRC

all about this post.

Well not everyone know that these cars are only good for 1/4 mile. And I have roads on my property where it can be alot of fun to see how fast your car can go.
