I have had mine to 105 and then it starts to shut off. How fast have you guys had yours and if it is over 105 tell me what you did to make it not cut off

Depending on the wheels that came installed at the factory (15" steelies with ContiCrap tires or 16" aluminum with Pirelli tires) it's limited at 105 or 125.

There's nothing you can do to get past that limit since (AFAIK) there's no way to flash our ECU yet. And unless you drag race and you're hitting the limiter, you really shouldn't even try to change the limit. Going that fast on normal roads is dangerous.

to my knowledge its 105 or 115..not 125.

My fiance's goes 115.

but the easiest way to go "faster" is to run a piggyback system.

that makes sense. it probably cuts off on the same rpm for all ls, but i bet the bigger wheels make it a few higher mph

I did somewhere around 125-128. When you're going that fast, you really dont have alot of time to look at the speedo. I know it was a little over 125, but im not sure by how much.

I'll tell yah, that **** is scary!

You are very uneducated my friend. All the LS LT w/o the SPORT packaged are governed to 105 because the Crappy continentals are only rated 108 mph. The sport package comes with Pirellis and is governed to 120mph. any other questions?
