Ya, I'm not sure why my rev. limit kicked in at 5100. I always say NOS in terms of Nitrous Oxide System, not the brand, although people do. I went and looked up my gear ratios and verified that I should have been doing like 150 at the top of 5th gear. So, I'm really worried about my gearing. I not know, but some how, some way, maybe I thought that I was in 5th when I really was in 4th, so I don't know. I'm going to find out for sure, and document my speeds vs. RPMs in 3-5th gear. Thanks. Noah

1. Do you have the 155mph speedometer?
2. If the answer was "no", then your car is limited to, I think 108mph.
3. If you have the 155mph speedo, did it come that way or did you put one in? If you just installed the 155mph speedo, that doesn't change the speed limiter; you need computer programming to change this.
4. I hope you were kidding or something, but how in the world do you confuse 4th and 5th gears?!?!

could you be mistaking a bigger problem like fuel starvation, bad coil, hi rpm miss for the rev limiter?
that was my first thought...
i like 4th gear...got to about 120!!
sounds like you have some issues to work out with your car before you start modding it!
and if i 'm not mistaken it's:
"i need NOS...I NEED NOS!...the big bottles...no better make it two...and i need it by tonite!"

Hey guys, I just put in my CAI and can't wait for this rain to stop. It is raining super hard out right now and is about 40 degrees out. My garage is full so I had to do the install in my drive way. Well, the install was a bitch because I didn't have the correct tools for the job. I had to use a channel locks to un-screw the plastic cover to put the filter on. Didn't help that it's freezing out and raining pretty hard. Well, went on pretty good. I'm excited to see if this will give me a little more high end help. I know alot of people have this CAI, so what are your impressions of it? Any SOTPs impressions? I already know the dyno #'s (about 10 RWHP right?) Thanks guys for reading this senseless post. Cya.

Haha, this is still going, weird 
Alrighty, I must have been in 4th gear some how, and thought I was in 5th, I don't know how, but some how, I thought that. Anyways, the car it acting much better now. The rev limiter in 1-3rd gear is like 5700 or so, I never take it much past 5200. Thanks for your help though guys. And for the person that was hinting that I might have a v6 (108 MPH limit), thanks for being nice I am a noob to F-bodys, but not a noob to cars. Talk to ya guys later. Noah
