    If you raise the rev limiter you won't go any faster.

    Power is already falling off after 5000 RPM.

    Tried a canned tune while N/A, not worth it.

    Not true.

    My bone stock GT went faster than 118 mph (159 is like a hundred MPH...so maybe a tune up is what you need to go 189 KPH.

    But who cares, it takes a mile....and you'll die in a black hole of a death trap.

    Otherwise, I'd say...get rid of the U-Bend before you get a tune, let the car breathe at least a little better, along with making your own intake and tossing in a 180* T-Stat for the lower fan setting points.

    I'd also say, buy one from www.3800performance.com...DHP > ZZP
