Default Car stops moving at 125- 130...Just after piggie install!

Last night on an open highway, I let her rip to test out them piggies that I spent 24 hours of my life working on...Nice power, however, the car barely pulls past 130, INCHES relative to before. Down low it seems fine, but up top something is apparently wrong.

Another note...Now I have a slight vibration upon slow accel, which I'm in the process of fixing, however I do not know why suddenly braking at 100+ mph, the car shook violently.

Now correct me if Im wrong, this couldnt have been abs, as I was barely on the brakes when this started to occur. The more pedal pressure (brake), the more it multiplied. Tried to setup this same braking sitaution, at 60 mph, no vibration...
- Must be rotors, and or brake deposits-

Havent really done many high speed braking runs recently in the last couple months, so could have been there before my "piggification".

As far as power, the lag high end (mph), could that be a result of a bad o2 sensor, which I have had before, but magnified with the clear downpipe?


So many questions
I bet you guys are starting to love me for these problematic threads....

Thanks In Advance,
Jordan

Default KE = ( ½ ) x (vehicle weight) x (speed of the vehicle)^2

For those who have had this problem, are the rotors too far gone to be machined?

you might be able to get them turned, but that's only going to make the problem occur easier..

I lost a turbo shortly after I experienced this one night trying to "race" a Hayabusa.
