What do you mean? That car wont see 80 mph. Instead, he will be driving 50 mph in the fast lane...as in a typical sxxxx cxxxxxx.

The "Bar" side of the speedo goes to 85mph but the digital readout has three digits. It keeps going even though the bars are "pegged" at 85. You see the digital readout showing a "0" mph.

So there is no need to bypass it, you just look at the readout.

the only thing I'm gonna do is mod the suspension. It already goes faster than I can handle.

The L98 is the Anti 13B. Everything the 13B does well the L98 can't handle and vice versa. The L98 has Torque but can't handle any high revs. The 13B REvs past 8K but has no Torque
