Doug does remove the limiter... however........

The limiter is set to 113 and I wouldn't go that fast unless at the track.

I wouldn't even think about going that fast with out a different driveshaft and better suspension anyway.

Doesn't the stock driveshaft blow out at 118? I thought I read on a thread on here that the U-joints won't hold due to bad clips.

Only 05 and early 06 V6s have the "bad" driveshaft. No u-joint clips. There is no problem with late 06 and up driveshafts, its just very heavy compared to an aluminum one. 30 lbs stock to about 17 lbs on the aluminum one. The reason the car has a speed limiter is the stock BFG 215x65x16 tires. There only(T)rated to 112 mph. If you have a tuner you should be able to turn it off very easily. When you first plug in the tuner you will get a message that asks if you want to change any parameters, push yes and you will get a list of thing you can change or adjust.
