there is no speed limiter however you will top out at 7500 RPM in 5th gear due to stock rev limiter.

Not in the 1g's there is not, just the rev limiter. On the other hand 2nd gen fwd's do but the awd does not.

The 1g's should be able to go as high as the rev limiter will let it.

I've never tried to pus mine up that high.. had it up to 125 which is where the vss kicks in and won't let you accelerate much further past it. This is a fwd though. Awd ecu's do not have vss. The reason for it were the 2g awd dsm's came with z-rated tires from the factory and the fwd came with h-rated, I believe it was.

Check vfaq.com there is a section in there about eliminating the vss and it gives more specifics on why it is there.
