SL55 flatens out...

Hello,

I have not dynoed the car so I am just going by how it feels. SL55 with cam, 180pulley, long tube headers, full 3"exhaust, high flow cats, heat exchanger, intake manifold spacers flatens out above 5k rpm. I just don't think what might be. I am thinking car need 200miles or so for it to used to hardware and software change.

anyone experiened this after big mods?

No, my car ran like a banshee after similar mods.

You don't mention ECU tune in your list; are you still running the stock tune?

MIL was on and it said something about tq limiter. it does have tune in it but seems like this function wasn't removed.

That makes sense. A lot of 55K modders were bumping into that same problem 2-3 years ago. You'll want an ECU tune that increases or eliminates the torque limiter.
