a tech II can de program the limiter ive got a 2000 eldorado etc ive had it up to 145 with about 1000 rpm left before redlining im sure it could pull 155 - 160
I just bought a 99' deville concourse with the 4.6 300hp northstar I love it but its got a stupid limiter at 136mph but at that speed it feels like its just getting started :)
@Irocz11389 if it has 300hp it can easily do 150+. My Civic Si limiter keeps it at 134 but I've seen and unlimited version doing 148ish. And it only has 200 hp.
@wallen2k9 a relative of mine is gonna give me a 96 seville sts for my bday in october,and i test drve it to get use to the handlin but i gotta find that chip,& i love the car but gets like only 18 miles on a gallon
it would go even more faster if the last gear ratio woudn't be so long. But gladly it's usable at normal speeds in hwy. Low's the rpm's for better mileage. Nice car absolutely.
If you mean tank as in gas, that's not the actual fuel amount, I'm not sure exactly, but I believe they run off of the throttle positioning sensor, basically a calculator, based on how long you'll be able to drive with the throttle in a certain position. Most Cadillacs get very good mileage for being heavier luxury cars.
Ive got a 2000 Eldorado ESC (LD8 N*) and she shuts down at 110mph it gets there so quick it feels like nothing.

I beat the hell out of the Northstar in my 1993 STS. I sold it before it blew a head gasket like they all do.

@ipodtouchfan221 Actually the Northstar engine was build for tough use and will run better if you run it hard every once in awhile.
