Er..speed now please..

Of course this was on a close course and what not..

Going on it hard in 4th gear rapidly approaching 120MPH it reachs and stops..literally just stops accelerating at 120MPH..shift into 5th kinda like..wtf.. and it still does not accelerate. It was just cruising at 120 and would NOT go any further even with the pedal on the floor.. I've never had it do this before and nothing has really changed that would cause this

Rice Eater and I cannot really think of anything that would be stopping me from my normal ability to bury the speedo..I might go out and try tomorrow to see if it'll go above it..if not it's just a justification for me to make hella more power..

yeah, its a nice pull to redline if 4th, go to fifth and it keeps on trucking until your testicular fortutide runs out.

dont run to the dealership and say what you noticed, lol!!! but have them check your intercooler assembly

keith-

btw if it doesnt throw a code they will write on your reciept, pump working as designed. so if you do not see any flow at all, tell them it should be movinfg the coolent, good luck bro!

keith-

I'm pretty sure it's a known fact that his intercooler isn't working. Might be ender though, the MWRLA sigs messes me up at times.

Remember, it's 30 degrees warmer, or more, than it was over the last few weeks. Every 11 degree temp increase is a loss of 1% air density. Add the warmer temps, with a non-working intercooler, and there you go.

It was just odd though..I know my intercooler isn't working and it should've gone in Monday, but other duties were calling for me to attend to them. I need to get it in more than likely this upcoming week and tell them that my coolant isn't moving and infact is getting hot enough to evaporate. It just pissed me off because when it WAS colder out the damned thing burried the speedo (there are pictures..closed course of course......) and now it'll reach 120 and just cruise.
