What tires came stock on your 99 Z28? If they are not "Z-rated" for high speeds, the PCM has a speed limiter set to about 118MPH. Your 99SS came stock with Z-rated tires, so the speed limit filed was maxed out at 255.

Im sure not z rated tires ! so I guess that's the issue. I also found out the alt is going out. I ready the top speed was 157 for a 99 SS ? Ive had it past 155 but didn't have a gps.

Well guess I need a tune an delete the max speed cut off .... 300 reasonable for a tune ?

I don't think anyone was suggesting that a stock 99 Z28 would turn 120MPH in the 1/4-mile.
