Hey y'all.
Quick question I have a stock 2ls. I'm pretty sure it has 18" wheels. What happened was, about the 2nd week I got it I was trying to top it out and it went to 136 mph. Lately I have been trying and the speed limiter of 118 comes on. Does anyone know why I hit 136?
Thanks

The tires that come on the LS are rated for a certain speed. That is why the limiter stopped you at 118. Any faster and your put in danger. As far as being able to hit 130+ i would guess a malfunction for some reason. Whatever the reason may be please dont go above 118 for the safety of you and others around you. On a closed track of course

The ls tires are rated to 115, until you tune the computer for higher rated tires, you'll be stuck to 115.. There is no way you went 136 unless u used a tuner of some sort
