Sean, I had previously said I hit it at 116 mph, but after a few dyno test I
realized my speedo was in era by 3 mph, so the actual limiter was 113 mph
for me.

I just don't understand this whole thing... i've never hit anything like a
limiter and i've been slightly above 115 before (117?). I have an auto 4.7
as well... perhaps i'm just messed up because my speedo is off... maybe if
the wheel-speed sensor is in the front (where at the time i had stock tires)
and since in back i have 5% taller tires, my speedo is still correct, but
i'm able to go faster because the limiter operates on actual drivetrain
speed. hmmmm...

I forgot what we decided the actual limit is (113? 117?); if it's 117 i
should be able to pull 123 or so.
