I think if you get your ECU reprogramed, its toast! The only place that I know of that does 2k-2k1 max's is Jet Performance.

It should make it to at least 130mph... that's the lowest governor there is assuming you have h-rated tires on your car stock...

my 2k1 ae which is cali spec auto will do 128-130 but with speedo error in those digits, there is not telling. i did do 132 in 3rd gear on a dyno pull but that doesnt count since there is no drag.

130

Mine pulled only 130MPH @ 6,500rpm's In 4th gear: on Nj Turnpike and I tried to go faster than 130MPH and the gas cuts off

Here is a pic to prove its on bottom of my website at cardomain

17" 5spd Federal spec SEs had no speed limiter, the AE 5spds didn't have it eighter. I had my ECU re-flashed with the V-rated tires program and it worked fine, then it was reflashed again for yet another MAF, and they put in the OE program- forgot to tell em to do the V rated tire program. Dont matter the Rev/Speed meter from Apexi takes the speed limiter off- I will try to take pics of the speedo pegged sometime with the tach at 6700RPMs.

There is a wire you can cut on your ECU that removes the limiter. This will throw a CEL so put a switch on the wire so you can leave it connected when not in use. Do a search for Ben's ECU mod, as I can't remember what wire this is.
