Default top speed under 110mph for s/c?!?

so i was driving on the freeway last night and i decided to just check out my top speed. o yea there was no one on the freeway. i was in 5th gear and just stepped on the gas. passed 100mph, kept going.....once the speedometer hit 110, it felt like i hit the speed limiter, my rpm was about 5,500. im on stock wheels, supercharger is stock, stock pulley, bosch 110 bpv, stock intake, and DME header. i have never heard of this issue before. the dealer did the reflash. the car has hit 125 mph before the s/c. could it be injector related? or could it be the reflash?

you might get flamed for going that speed on a highway even though you say nobody was around.

Maybe if you weren't a _____ and stepped on the gas all the way we would find out! ::THUMBS DOWN :: for speeding on the highway.

wow why are so many people hating on people going fast...if he gets pulled over its his **** hopefully he gets thrown in jail, but he has a legit question.

Something is off on your set up buddy cause I have the same set up now (Stock except for DME) and I have been as fast as 120 on a pass.

at 5500 RPM you should be going faster than 110 btw....

110 is about max in 4th gear by the way and 110 in 5th I believe is lower then 5500 RPM. My guess would be you forgot you were in 4th.

that is the only explanation because if you were at 5500rpm in 5th you would probably be going 130mph

The tC is electronically limited to 127mph.

You know, for the safety of yourself and those around you, just in case you don't see that debris on the empty highway.

i was not bouncing off the rpm limiter. i was at about 5,500 rpm. the speedometer would touch 110 and the cut off would engage, and of course i am in 5th gear. all the other gears would hit 6,000 rpm with out a problem. my question was, could it be injetor related? or could it be related to the reflash? how would the injectors react when they are at their limit?
