umm. I don't really know what you mean by dragging out or limited.

I went to about 125 on the freeway floored and it wouldnt go any faster.

I'm trying to increase the maximum speed without doing any engine swap and adding turbo or nitrous.

I know that I/H/E will increase HP but does that HP translate to higher top speed?

what i mean is...

1) is the engine unable to overcome the force of drag...limiting the speed.

or

2) is the fuel being cut off, because of a governer, limiting the speed.

Why would you want to go faster than 125 MPH on the freeway in the first place?

Set the cruise at 80 and be happy with that before you kill yourself.(Or get a huge speeding ticket.

Yea, besides, unless you take your car to a road track your never even going to come close to 125+ I/H/E will get you to 125 quicker, but wont increase the speed if the car is goverened by the computer

Questions like this ,, and driving at such a dangerous speed in a PUBLIC HWY REALLY, REALLY RILE ME UP ..
You are endegering not only your life , which is fine if so you choose ,, But the life of innocent people managing their own business driving around .. You must be a very young and immature kid ,, to put lives at risk .Do you have a clue what getting in an accident at such speed will do ???? How much easier it is to loose control of the car ?? and you want to go faster ?????
I may sound real mean, but i hope for your sake and the lives of others , that you get stopped by hwy patrol , get a big ticket, license suspended thus keeping you away from the public roads before you kill someone

if you enjoy driving fast,, go to the fast track, pay some money and drive there for an hour or so ,
