Default GIAC chip question

I have the GIAC 91 octane 1bar chip, and I was wondering if that chip raises your top speed and if it does to what. I had the ***** to find the top at 130 before the chip, but ever since buying the chip it's been a combination of not enough opportunities to test it presenting themselves and not having the ***** to try it when they do.

So basically it's just drag limited? Hmmmm....gonna have to start looking for some z-rated tires now. I still feel stupid for running it up to 130 on my crappy tires I have now. That's the main reason I don't want to try again. Plus I'm afraid with no downforce really to speak of it'll start getting a little floaty much over 130.

I can go faster than 132 and my car can go faster than 132 are two different things.

There is no governor now,you are going to be rpm limited now. When i had the 1.8t trans, i could get into the 140s, now the 2.8tran, i can go well over 150mph.
