Mine was set to 126 before I removed the speed limiter with the preditor. I tested it to make sure it was gone and it was. The car went from 125-135 so fast I couldn't believe it.

I think they did that to prevent you from shifting into overdrive at wide open throttle. This happens with stock gears around 130MPH. I just let up on mine around 125 and let it shift, then I put it back to the floor and everything was fine.

Remember, a speed limiter and rev limiter are two different things.
