    If the two of you have future performance plans, splitting an HP Tuner might not be a bad call.

    I have never hit the speed limiter, that is for sure.

    When I said fast, I did not mean acceleration, I was referring to the top speed that you seem to want. I can do 130 in my beater truck, a Geo Metro, and just about anything else if you pedal fast enough and wind it out...but why? Like I said, save your money for going "stupid top-end fast" and spend it on things that will get you going quicker 0-60 or down the ¼ mile.

    On the other hand it is nice to be able to actually top out your car on special occasions . That is without being stupid of course.

    Conflicting statements.

    Not really, just be sure to choose a good road that's long enough with plenty of visability and no traffic at all (which is easy to find out where I live ). Also make sure you and your car can handle going that fast too, if you have never gone very fast before do not try and top out your car, take it slow one step at a time. Some people though should just never attempt to go that fast since some people just don't know how to drive and wouldn't know what to do if they got themselves into a bad situation, and by knowing how to drive I mean pushing your car and learning it limits and figuring out how to handle it properly. Not many people can complete this checklist though so can I see why you wouldn't encourage going that fast .
