Does the 127mph limiter change when ecu is reflashed for sc?

As far as i can tell theres a speed limiter at 127. Does this change with the SC install?

No. Why would you ever need to go faster than that?

No you haven't. No matter what the speedometer registers, 127 is the top speed.

It can, but you'd need internal work done to support the additional RPMs.

Not true, I think the tC is gear limited to 134 or something in fifth gear at stock rev limiter. So if you took the limiter off for the speed you could still run out fifth gear without needing internals. Now the only way to go over the 134 (i might be off on that number but whatever) then you would need to up the RPMs and do some internals to go faster.

Oh and for the question of why would you want to go faster, I agree in the US. But If I get to move back to Germany next year, I will definetly be looking to get rid of the speed limiter so i can max out 5th. Every bit counts over there if you want to go on along drive somewhere.

I would never brag about going 127...it's really not that fast (until you hit something). If I was going to brag about speed, it'd be more like 190mph or 200mph.

so ur telling me that when my gauge displayed 138mph... it was actually 127.. then explain why it would say 138 instead of 127? it doesent make sense to me.

Ummmm your gauge is off! The car is electronically limited to 127 mph, period.

Believe me. If it could be done, someone would have figured it out by now.
