Your car is limited to 128. The actual speed in which the PCM cuts you off may vary 2-3mph or so either way. Some cut out at 125. It will pull hard up to the limiter. But not after that.

I remember reading that GM set the speed limiter in the ecm according to the tire option on the car at the time of manufacture. If your factory tire option was H then your speed limiter was set accordingly and if your tire option was Z it was set higher even though it could be the same car otherwise. I'll have to check it out because my ssei came with the Z option tire pkg from the factory.

The L27'* and L36'* got a limit of 108 regardless of tire speed rating.
