Top Speeds
i hit the governor at 126 mph on a long two mile bridge in temple, tx. i have since then added the cortex tuner and increased the speed limiter. still haven't had the chance to go back and see what it can do now.
i did this in my stock ss about 3 months after i got it, i have that little dash computer system that came with the car and i hit 126, i may not have hit the limiter so you are probably right about the setting. but i did run out of straight road, so had to lift off. I will actually be going down the same bridge this weekend. i now have the superchips cortex tuner on it, with the speed limiter lifted to the "superchips level" as they call it. my brother just bought a new mini digital recorder and he's going with me. I will film what i hit and post it, haven't seen any posts with that yet. should be fun.
Ive hit 138 in 4th gear in my 5spd with tune, couldve shifted to 5th and been fine but i didn't really want to. Its a little bumpy 2 lane "highway" on my way to work. Ill have to datalog a topspeed run one day lol.
I hit 138 yesterday, and got it on film, check it out on youtube search hhr ss 130+. let me know what you think. only add on is the superchips cortex tuner. all else is stock. here is the link for the video.
