[1997TA]

Help me out. I took a rode trip to Colorado from Utah and the fastest my 1997 TA was 110 mph. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) It seemed like there was governored at that speed. It started sputtering. What's up with that. Is this normal? How do I remove it????????????? It is a stock LT1 with CAI.

I appreciate your feedback. Although I may be new to this forum I am not new to the racing arena. I have participated in SCCA for years with a race-prepared Mustang. After years of being beaten by the f-bodies, I decided to purchase one, recently, and commit treason. I had understood the top speed of my TA was 142, not 110. This is a concern of mine since I will be attending PDX/HPDE at MMP, and possibly Pueblo, this spring and intend to participate in Open Road. With a race prepared suspension and brakes, I decided to pass a car on the long and boring trip on the I-70. Yes, I went to 110, which is fairly easy with the 5.7.

My main concern is top speed at the MMP on the straights. I understand that it is possible to exceed 100 mph. My intention is to determine how to prepare my car for this experience on the track and in open-road racing applications. I understand that this is a race forum and I am not looking for ways to alter my top speed to exceed the posted speed limits on public roads in an unsupervised setting. I also know how to tune my vehicles. Unfortunately, the LT1 is a unique engine to me with the optispark and other challenging issues. I would much rather hear from you professionals on how to resolve this issue than to post on a teenage camaro website. They would probably load me full of crap.

Thanks for your advice and will be adjusting through LT1 tuner.
