anyone know what the highest you can get up to without breaking something in the drivetrain? I've gotten my 2000 firebird up to 120mph, dont know if its safe to go any faster without breaking anything.

The first thing you might to look at is the speed rating of your tires. I wouldn't exceed the speed rating of your tires or you are asking for trouble.SLP CAI, K&N, Whisper Lid, 180* thermo, manual fan switch, 3.42 gears, Auburn Pro LSD, Wester\'s PCM Tuning, TSP Rumbler, High Flow Cat.

well, if you have a one-piece driveshaft (was 2000 when V6's came with them also?), then you essentially have the same drivetrain as LS1 cars do, just minus the gobs of HP. They're governed at 168mph, so the car can handle at least that. But yeah, better make sure you got some good tires at that speed....AIM: Alientr8tr<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/583450\" target=\"_blank\">1998 Camaro 3.8L</a><br />Flowmaster 80-series, !FRA, Eibach Springs, KYB AGX, SLP sway bars, 3.42/LSD, Wings West kit, Z06 Motorsports, Silverstone Metallic paint<br /><a href=\"http://www.shift5.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Shift 5</a> - My BandComment

I govern out at 118 mph. I wouldn't go any higher than that regardless if I didn't have some nice z rated tires.
Nothing will kill you quicker than disintegrating tires at 150mph.1999 red camaro v6 M5: with a turbo<br />13.52@107.99<br />No, seriously: Who Farted? <br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/600086\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/600086</a>Comment

The speed limiters are set at 118 because that is what the standard tires that came from the factory are rated for. The optional (from the factory) GoodYear Eagle HP is speed rated for 130.SLP CAI, K&N, Whisper Lid, 180* thermo, manual fan switch, 3.42 gears, Auburn Pro LSD, Wester\'s PCM Tuning, TSP Rumbler, High Flow Cat.

for some reason i remember a post about this where someone tested it and said it was 140something (with the governor removed of course)... and of course that started a big flame war and nobody agreed... i dunno, do a search in gen tech.Comment

You must have been going downhill with the wind to your back, because the cars are governed at 118 stock, no exceptions.
I'm not gonna flame you, its possible, it just wasn't the engine taking you to over 120, just some extra momentum from a hill or something.-Eric<br />2002 Navy Blue Camaro...Striped and Stalled. 35th Anniversary SS wheels <br />Best ET: 15.384 @ 88.32 on street tires<br />Project Whitney: Goal, 14.0 1/4 by summer 2008.Comment

some stock cars don't have a gov I had a g/f w/a 2000 camaro w/o a gov and I had I 95 that didn't either. Fastest I have had my car to is probably about 145-150mph I have the hypertech so I removed the gov. That is a guess because of the speedo stopping @ 125. The way I figured it out was I was doing just under 4500 RPM in 5th gear @ that point my clutch started letting go that is some scary **** @ that speed. The top speed that was done on the hypertech dyno w/a 2001 I believe was 137 mph w/cat back and cai I believe though.2002 M5 Bright Metallic Silver <br />*Fully loaded and modded<br /><br />2005 GSXR 750<br />*Micron Serpent Race Exhaust *K&N Filter *Power Commander *Trying to hit 200 MPH!<br /><br />1970 SS 454 Chevelle Cortez Silver<br />*It can pass anything but a gas stationComment
