speed limited SUCKS

I was coming back from school in carolina on I-95 and and my car was bouncing off the speedometer at 134mph

This SUCKS cause I am in at peak power at 5400rpm

I heard you can change the map sensor to ge rid of the speed cut

if this is true I know i can do 150mph

btw need spoiler

The speed limiter is inside the ECU, reprogramming the ECU can change or get rid of the speed limiter as well as the rev limiter.

Check eBay for spoilers... they go for pretty cheap on there, and if you can try to find an Acura spoiler, not aftermarket.

I have burried my speed'o past the 140 mark multiple times and have not hit a fuel cut off, Mabey it is due to the VAFC, or the jap shop that was screwing with the computer for a good two days when I got the car or possibly any of the other stuff I have hooked up to all my sensors but to sum it up I havent hit it yet and I sure have tried.

Yeah,, I've only hit 115 with my 3.0 and I'm not sure how far I wanna press it right now... I need to have it serviced... Question what do you do when the "Maintenance Required" is orange?

Put your key in the slot next to it and it will turn green, Magic I guess.
