Florida weather has been cold lately (30-40's) tonight, so I've decided to do a little top speed run on an interstate coming home from work. I did manage to reach around 100-105, but the tach just hovered between 3500-4000 rpm's while flooring it. Is this normal on an AT??? Is this what you call 'fuel cut'??? I know we don't have a speed limiter like the 4G63 guys do, so what could it be. Thanks!!!

Yeah, how I did it was with the OD off when I was accelerating off the entrance ramp and hit OD on when I nearly redline 3rd gear. I guess when I was in 4th it just wouldn't budge anymore. Is it because of the tranny gearing (don't think so), the computer (be it the engine or tranny), or the fuel delivery system (injectors, pump, etc...)???? How will it react to the turbo if I can BARELY pass a 100??? GRRRRR......so much questions, sorry guys!!!!!

I've got mine to 130 easy stock.. after i did the "hack air box" put in a K&N filter, and OBX muffler I top at 105 too.. I get over it sometimes and move on up.. then again i only run that fast on I-40 going thur NC... Lots of room.. and mostly flat.. nice place to top a car out. hehe..

I used to think mine topped 105. Then I realized the seat was back too far and I couldn't floor it all the way. I'm like 5'11" or maybe 6' even. Not very tall IMO. That was a long time ago. I laughed like hell when I realized that.
