yup..143 in my g92 LB9..i coverd 12 miles in 5 1/2 minutes

and im guessin 150 or so drafting a L98 vette

the speed limiter was determined by the tire rating...but you guys knew that lol

yes really ain't that so cool when corrected the speedo toi the 4.11 i swear i go send the sending unit for shorter tires but 295's are 26.6inches tall instead of the stock 25- 26 inches depending on if there 16's or 15's. 235/55r16's = 25ish 215 65r15's = 26ish.

ive owned my camaro for about 6 hours now (lol).....my s10 cuts out at 97ish....i didnt even think about a limiter being on a camaro at all! the ASE chip gets rid of the limiter in my s dime, is there a chip available to do the same thing in my 88 camaro?


ps....if i say something retarded in the future its because i dont know too much about camaro's.....i know some but not much..........my bro has an 87 trans am and i end up teaching him about his own car, i know maro's and f birds r very similar but ya know how gm screws things round when they sell a car under a diff name......this is y i say i dont know camaro's that well......thanx again and please...HAVE PITTY!.......lol j/p
