Weel its either because it's an 86 sir, or a speed limiter.

are you base timing? im sorry i get ahead of myself, try a temp drop test on your cat after racing it. if you get some crazy thing like 650/400 . I dont think there is an offical drop test for a cat (as i am not a exhaust pro) i think it should only be about 50deg Farenheit difference.

Why in the hell do you need to go faster than 115?

I smell a TOS violation....

I doubt you're going to reach 115mph traps.
