Get a Mail Order Tune... Its cheaper than handheld.(if you go thru PCMFORLESS.COM)

and you can get some real horsepower out of it.....

Upgrade the tires to ones with a higher speed rating. You don't don't want to go 130 on 100mph tires.
I know you can get it changed as part of a custom (ie Nelson) tune.

Like said above get a custom tune before you get a handheld. Not only do you need to upgrade to tires that can handle the speed apparently the driveshafts can't handle it either.

Driveshafts? this is the first i have heard about that is it the u-joints that are failing or is not balanced good enough or what? Kinda scares me a little bit now.
