I have mine limiter removed via tune and I've been as fast as 135. I read somewhere that the 245/45 18 stock tires are only rated for 130mph. My tire psi went from 37 to 46 after that run.

If your taking the limiter off to hit those speeds then I suggest tire upgrade to something with a r,w,y or z rating; definitely put the ss sway bars on and the suspension because if your changing lanes or taking a corner the body roll at that speed is deadly. Also you want to upgrade your breaks/rotors.

Stock 18's are T rated. T rated is good up to 118.

It goes like this:
T-118
U-124
H-130
V-150
W-169
Y-188
ZR- usually means over 150

Taking turns and changing lanes at 130+??!!! Yeah, I dont think so. Staying in your lane is your main concern at that speed. That and trying not to get caught by smokey cause the car and you are both going to jail at that speed. LOL
