It's been my experience that at 150mph you become airborne.

From what ive read when I had a 4-port AT is that the Cobb AP can remove your redline at 7500rpms but not your gov. at 125mph because the gov. is set in place my your TCM and not you're ECU... something like that, thats what Easy told me, maybe you were going downhill?

There were a group of 04 a/t that did not get the limiter...Most did. The 8 with stock or m/s body is not able to exceed 153MPH unless you find a way to put wings on it. They become airborne at that speed. That could be one reason the limiter was added.

The better question would be, which setting in AP Race Tuner is it to remove the limiter.
