    You need a tuner to change it in the PCM.

    That's kinda stupid and rather unsafe to go that fast unless on a track or something.

    once you get a tune, push it till it something breaks, should not take very long

    You mean without a full cage right?

    I'd love to see me some N body after a barrel roll at 130 mph.

    ^^^ Exactly my point.
    Try going over 125 and see how ending up like that car feels.

    Personally, If someone wants to lose control of their car at 130 mph and ram it head on into a tree, that's OK with me. The world needs more population control, and this way, we get rid of more of the stupid people first.

    There's more people on the road than trees. Surprisingly, 130mph 3,000 pound steel death machines are one of people's few weaknesses.
    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+.
