My car went faster than it should have

Hey guys I know it's not safe and everything but my dad drove my car the other day and he said he got it up to 115-120ish on the highway? I was wondering how this happened when my fuel is supposed to cut off at 109. All I have done to the car is intake, header, and exhaust. I'm just confused at this point. Have any ideas?

need to specify what year your car is...I assume you have a 200sx, going by your username. Manual or auto? Why would you let him do something like that? Nobody drives my car like that except me, at the track. Hell, nobody even drives my car but me, my wife has never even sat in the drivers seat. I would have to say something about it.

My car is a 96 200sx manual and I trust my dad he is a very good driver and I think he can handle my car when he has driven many cars faster than mine. Th thing is I wasn't with him so I didn't say he could. I did tell him he could drive my car down to a buell dealer to look at a bike, but I didn't know he would be doing this I was just a little confused by it since it's supposed to go slower.

the factory speedometer is not accurate when going past 100mph so he was probably close to 109 i have taken my b13 to 120mph (speedo read that) but im sure it wasnt accurate.
