I've always wondered about that. I've seen it done for CAGS before and thought it would be a great option for the column lock issue. That is saying it doesn't actually lock up at 190... bad bad bad...

Does anyone know a dealer or independent shop that will reset the cut off speed from 2.5 mph to something higher? 200 mph works. I've talked to the local dealer here and they have the capability to do it but will not because of the liability issue. I'm in the Raleigh Wake Forest area. North Carolina.

CLB has worked for me for 11 years...changing the cutoff can be done easily by anyone with HP tuners

I just bought an 01 with 50K on it. Was totally unaware of the column lock issue until it happened the second day that I owned the car!! Have become well educated since. I have the Houston Corvette CLB on the way but would do the MPH change just as a backup. The car has had all the dealer recalls done and the pin has been removed so the column will not lock.
