Companies like TechnoSquare and Jim Wolf Technologies are working on it, and they'll crack the 6th gen ECM soon if they haven't already done it. I know TechnoSquare just started offering their services to the 5th gen crowd, but only a few Org members have actually had theirs reflashed.

As much as I want to flame you for wanting to exceed 145mph (probably on a public road or highway), I am just dying to know where you need to go faster than 145mph. Curiousity is killing me. I understand why people have a need for speed. I freely admit that when I was younger, I was one of those mad speeders. I used to turn the 2 hour (for normal, sane people) drive from Lawrenceville to Carrollton into a 1-hour-or-less race back when I drove my Sentra. A friend of mine who drives a Civic would race me the whole way down I-20, and we never dropped below 100mph. At the time, I really really thought it was fun, and I was ABSOLUTELY SURE that my driving skills were awesome.

After watching my friend's Civic lose control (we still don't know why it happened) and slide across a concrete median into the oncoming lanes, I got a little scared, but nobody got hurt, so we didn't learn our lesson. We kept speeding and racing until we finally ran up combined legal fees of almost $10,000. Both of us have lost our licenses. I lost mine for 6 months, and he lost his for a year. I spent a weekend in jail and a year on probation.

He and I are both driving again, and both of us find that racing in public just isn't fun anymore. We still love our cars, and we still mod them, but we keep it legal (and safe) now. When we think of all the dangerous situations we caused, all the money we lost, and all the time we spent repaying our debt to society, it's a powerful incentive for us to go to the local drag strip or auto-x event when we feel the need to race. Oh, and our "mad driving skills" actually turned out to be pretty lousy. Getting into legal racing has turned both of us into genuinely good (and safe) drivers.
