Question Top Speed?

I topped my grand prix out at 110 yesterday, does anyone know some easy ways to increase that?

Re: Top Speed?

It might help telling us what year and model your car is, Probably has a speed governer on it.

Anyways, I hope no one was around when you topped it out. Very dangerous my friend.

Re: Top Speed?

Jeep is right, especially if your tires are not rated to handle high speeds. Save your play for a track, where nobody can get hurt, well, except for you.

Re: Top Speed?

97-03 gtp's are limited to 127 i believe. only way to go faster is get a chip or tune the one you have. but then again, who needs to go any faster than that in a grand prix?

Re: Top Speed?

Ok well for starters i have a 2000 GT, K&N intake, Dual Greedy Mufflers. Secondly I was on a closed track so no worries about speeding. How would i go about changing the governer? More speed = more fun!

You still have your GP GT governed yet you have enough mods to keep up with a 350z or a G35....

Mod list please.....Because there is no way you kept up with either one of those cars if your stock and even if your not you would have to do some pretty heavy modding to a GT to hang with those.....

1999 Pontiac GP GT - 200hp/225lb.ft. 3400lbs

2003 Infinity G35 - 260hp/260lb.ft. 3400lbs

2003Nissan 350z - 287hp/274lb.ft. 3100lbs......

As you can see no way in a million years your GT would hang with either of these cars stock for stock especially top end....My GTP feels like it hits a brick wall at 110mph....Mod list please.....

You will have to get a new PCM or get yours reprogramed. Go to some Pontiac Grand Prix performance sites and you will find what you need.

ZZP, 3800 performance...

Re: Top Speed?

Yeah, the ZZP 1.0 eliminates the limiter. I have a 04 GP, and I've heard that they will do 138 before cutting out, but I haven't been to a track, so I won't risk it.

That's good that you were at a track. Let us know you times! I'm always curious about that!

Re: Top Speed?

the '04+ gtps are limited at 128mph and the comp-gs at 142mph... with a reprogrammed PCM and the limiter removed, you can bury the speedometer on a the new gen cars(which it registers 145mph)... In fact, my car doesn't switch to 4th gear until about 137mph(though its a normal gtp geared 2.73 and not 3.23s like in the comp-gs)
