HI! I'VE THE PRO FROM FEW MONTHS SO SO I DON'T KNOW ITA LOT.
IS THERE A SPEED LIMIT CONTROL IN THE PCM?
SPEED ALWAYS STOP AT 110!
I THINK THAT WITH 256 HP IT COULD RUN MUCH MORE!

PCM is set to shut the fuel supply off at 132mph or 6000rpm.

I think I have experienced the rev limiter end of this while accelerating a coup;e of times. I thought it was probably clogged fuel injectors due to the car sitting to much.
While on a vacation a couple of weeks ago (600 miles one way) I experienced it again. I took off from a slow roll in Autostick mode and went through the gears experiencing the "shut off" between first and second gears.
It wasn't until a little later when looking at my GPS unit that I noticed my top speed was in the three digit range (OOPS).
I ran some Lucas Injector Cleaner on the way home thinking that might help. Now I realize it may have not been the injectors at all....just my right foot.

P.S. 600 mile trip with A/C working, Top up, running 65 mph @ 2900 rpm I averaged 19.2 mpg. I guess stock gears would have yielded better mpg but nowhere near the fun.

Yep, I get about 20mpg locally with stock gears and 16 with aftermarket gears.

You know, that you have to be carefull in Italy, the fine is higher than in the USA.

I live close to many no speed limmit highways. My Prowler runs 130mp/h. But, the Prowler has a very (to)long rear end ratio, so its not a quick autobahn car.
The Pro Gears help in top speed. Also, there is a fuel shot off. A Chrysler/Mopar dealer caput this off.

A Prowler drives not very nice at higher speed. You have to be very carefull. A friend rund a paxton Kat, no fuel shot off and some other performance mods. We did some shaky´fast rides with 165/70mp/h on the navi speedo.

( at 8 miles to the gallon)

But, to me, the Prowler makes more fun on relaxed cruising at 65/75 mp/h at low rpm.
