> All Grand Prixs are equipped with a speed limiter that will retard the fuel delivery to your engine at a pre-set speed (108 for normally aspirated 3800's and 126 for supercharged 3800's). This will prevent the car from exceeding the speed  limitation of the factory tires' speed rating. This operation was designed by GM to prevent lawsuits and dangerously high speeds, and will not harm your Grand Prix.

I know that the CompG's shut down att 142..... (Unless you reprogram the
PCM)

GXP.....Top speed (governor limited): 143 mph, that could be changed
too.....

The last gen of Firebirds were unlimited if they came from the factory
with the speed rated tires ( fbody.org ).  I have a 2005 GTO now, the
spedo goes to 200, but I haven't tried it that fast yet to see if it
is restricted at less than that.

I recently replaced my Speedometer dial with one that says 240mph. Havn't
had a chance to try it yet but expect the change to allow my Grand Am to hit
at least 220.
