@BigEarlT While you can't actually remove the limiter, you can change it. Mine is set for 200mph. Pretty safe bet I'll never hit it... Anyway, yeah, this was metric. I've had my 98 PA Ultra up to 140-ish (135 indicated, but my tires are slightly bigger than stock). I'm running a cam, rockers, headers, 3" exhaust and a GenV supercharger from a Series 3, and my speedo doesn't climb like that. Granted, I don't have an intercooler, but neither does he. HKS never made one for the supercharged 3800.
@manoman0 The only way to change the limiter is to reprogram the PCM. You need software and an OBDII adapter for your laptop computer. HPTuners and DHP(Digital HorsePower) both sell their own versions. HPT is the better one. Your better option is to find a local tuner with the HPT software and have them do the work. OR, you can order a programmed PCM from INTENSE Racing. You'll have to do a CASE learn after you install it, which can be done by a dealer, or with the right OBD scanner.
@manoman0 Visit the 3800Pro forums if you want more info. There may be a member near you that already has the tuner software and cable. Some guys will do the adjustments for the cost of the license for your VIN number plus a few bucks.
@frosty9595 I've had that happen a few times on mine, only when it's filled up completely, and I think it only happened in the summer. after less than 1 gal, it goes away.
@frosty9595 Yeah, it's a known issue on the Park Aves, they do that if you "top off" after filling, with the Park Aves you stop fueling when the gas pump tells you or you get stuck with the needle under the bottom peg.
Look!..the car fills and re fills its self back up!
