Hit the limiter at 115 before I had the SCT tune. Haven't bothered to go that fast since then.

115 because of the electronic limiter yes. Stock with the limiter removed would go to 130 at least i would think, or around there.

I've gotten up to 105. I was surprised at how quickly it reached it. After a few more mods this spring it'll be even quicker.

The speedometer only goes to 120, since it stops there, that is when I slowed back down. Just wanted to make sure the tuner disabled the speed limiter, it did.

105mph on the stock tires felt unstable to me, but 120mph on the new tires feels just fine.
