I'll chime in that it's not difficult for me to reach 110 on various highways. I tend to hover at that point, but I notice that I could push to 120 from 110 pretty easily.

its cool ive done it a few times even with 3 ppl in my car. i top out at 125 with a 1/4 of a tank og gas at about 5500-5700rpm in 5th with my 6 speed a/t. my comp crashed so i lost the vid with my friends in the car recording. my friend can hit 180 the same road in his turbo'd m3.

I don't think I've gone past 100 MPH in my 8 (6 speed), but acceleration will definitely start to drop off at those kinds of speeds due to aerodynamic drag. It doesn't help that I usually drive with the windows open while cruising around.
Maybe someday I'll take a long road trip where I can really let loose, but until then, I'm content with double digit speeds.

I looked at the HKS thing on their website but I don't have the cash to experiment on something that doesn't seem to have gotten much regard. I think that if it actually can remove limiters safely than it would be VERY VERY popular.

OP's track = Interstate 94
He's not worried about the top speed "tracking", trust me.

I am not trying to be combative or offensive, but is it really that hard hitting 125 with an AT? My 0-120 is ~23-25 seconds (stock, unless you count the +50hp from my clear corners), from 70-80, far quicker. Quick enough that I can easily hit 120 (top of 4th) between packs of cars on the highway without much thought or effort. Is it really 3-5 minutes of work?
I guess I never really thought of what the limit of revs really does to top end.
