ok so i was driving my 99 a4 on the freeway and it felt like the fuel cut out at about 112-115 i wasent sure if it should cut out that early or not so if someone can give some feed back id gladly appreciate it

yep thats about all the power a z28 has, They just dont produce any power over 100 and have a hard time hitting 120.....

Or it could be you'r factory limitor seeing they are at 120 or somthing. If you'r car came with z rated tires from the factory, it will have a 160 limitor or somthing like that. Its a good thing my car dont have this limitor!!!!

Yep, check the tire speed rating on the drivers side door.

well the tires that i have are basically no names they came with the car but it gets up real fast to 120 it just cuts out when i get up to it other than that the car is fine im guessing its just a factory limitor if so does anyone know how to get rid of it

If the car didn't come with Z rated tires (on the door) believe the speed limiter is set about 115 from the factory. Easily removed with tuning - if you are going to make a habit of running that fast at sustained speeds be sure the tires can handle it. Speed rating of the tire should be on the sidewall.

what tuner can i get that will eliminate the fuel cut

Almost any will allow you to move the speed limiter up to a higher level but if you don't have W or Z rated tires I would leave it alone as you need to live past 18.

dude just listen. You dont need to be going faster that 120 even with z rated tires. You are just asking for trouble.
