The 2nd gen R/T's top out at 138mph and do not have the speed limiters...only the stupid rev limiter!

Thats all the higher they'll go? I bet if mine had enough power and didn't have a limiter it would do close to 150. I believe at around 120 I'm only at around 4400 rpm in 5th. I haven't driven that fast in awhile so I don't remember.

I think thats the mechanical top speed because of fuel delivery issues...thats why when we turbo you have to buy an upgraded fuel pump and bigger injectors...but i dont know that for sure.

why would you want to take it past the rev limiter on stock internals anyway, you will probly just break it, unless neon engines are stronger than i think.

Where can I buy a pcm for my 2000 neon? I need some info (sorry, I'm kind of a noob when it comes to car modding) and any help is appreciated. =] About how much do they cost?

The Magnum engine actually makes power till 7100 RPM's...

You can find PCM's on HowellAutomotive.com

Me and my buddy were flying on the highway, both of us haulin ***. I'm winding 4th gear out, I hit 120 and then guess what happens. The car just stops accelerating, stupid speed limiter. Grrr....I was in 4th and still had a little bit left. I still had all of 5th left to go. I really need a new pcm, hopefully someone comes out with one.[:@]
i usualy hit 5th gear at 115mph ( 180kmh ish )
