The OEM speed limit in the us is set to 221 kph or about 136.

usually they put in speed limiters because of the rating on the OEM tires...

I would want mine set to 88mph.

Our tunes do not have any speed limits. We get rid of fuel cut altogether, and leave throttle cut at 200 mph. No problems topping it out here but the tracks for that are few and far between even supercharged. Because everyone is doing this on the track right?

I bet you'd see some serious sh!t.

Based on your sig I'm assuming you are running Bills tune so all the comments below are based on that....

Is your car popping at idle, or is it just misfiring up in 5k range?
Which version of Bill's tune do you have?

Wondering if you are experiencing the same types of problems at least 3 of of have seen - if so I think you would be the first auto.

He is not running the flexfuel tune.

Hey Bob, don't forget the part where you had a custom tune for the headers you installed, took the headers off, didn't tell me and kept the custom tune on for a couple weeks while you did some Autocross events.

Just a FYI.

I've just hit CEL PO300 multiple cylinder misfire, car is idling rough and misfiring badly. I'm in stress mode.....

Yes, that is true.

only above 5k.

Just to be clear here, I don't have any evidence that this is related to the tune. I did have Bill do a custom 91 tune w the PPE header/overpipe and the 70mm pulley. I had issues with the PPE headers ratlling, and swapped back the OEM parts without reverting back to the 8.58 tune. That may have induced the problems I have now. It is too early to tell at this point.

I'm going out in the garage now to pull the blower and try to get at the DI units.

Details to follow.

Bob, I'm sorry to hear that your PPE headers rattled too. I thought about taking mine off and swapping back to stock as well, but then I contacted Zach from Delicious tuning and he advised me against it because just as Bill mentioned for you, the car was tuned for those headers on the dyno.

Ever since I added the blower and headers I've actually been driving the car way less aggressively (but not necessarily slower). Mainly because the headers are so raspy and they rattle really bad unless you slowly roll on the throttle. I have found that the car now likes to be driven either slow and lazily or fast and at WOT, but not much anywhere in-between.

I don't know about you guys, but now that I'm boosted I hardly drive past 5,000 rpm. Before the SC kit 6,200 rpm and up was this engine's home. More so at the track and in the canyons. Now, I actually back off before I hit 5,000. Mainly because of the noise and somewhat because of how the engine feels above 5K.

From what I have noticed, the engine does like to rev past 5K and all the way to redline as long as it is in quick bursts. It gets rough and chokes up a bit if you try to hold the revs up there for more than a few seconds. I mainly noticed this at the track this past weekend. I'm still in an intermediate run group that only allows point-by passing, so when I'm stuck behind some slow schmo who isn't paying attention I get stuck holding my revs at around 5,500 rpm. I noticed that the exhaust would sometimes pop and the throttle would feel a bit "chunky". Sorry, I don't know how else to put it.

Anyway, Bob I hope you are able to get this issue resolved ok and that it doesn't occur for you again.

Good luck
