top speed question


What's the normal top speed with 4.10's on our cars. With the govenor removed I could get to 140ish before. Now with the 4.10s I can only hit 110. Should I have made sure the govenor was off with the tuner when I was adjusting the speedo, or is 110 all I'm gonna get out of it?

tune your car again
and you dont want to top out too much , its not the best for our cars and you have to make sure that your tires are rated for high speeds

4.10s would definitely NOT limit you to 110, you can still hit 130+. It shouldn't matter anyway because with those mods, you won't even sniff a 110 mph trap. Stop driving like a retard.

i hit 120 in my car, the speedometer on the car said 123 or 124 but my gps was reading 120. i have the z-rated tires on my cobra rims, this was on probably a 4 mile stretch between summerville of south carolina and columbia of south carolina. the gps takes distance readings, stop time, start time, all that jazz, imma see what it does with 3.73 in march.
just dont go that fast^^ At a stupid time, like when theres people on the road, this was a holiday, no one was in site, save for 3-4 cars.
