Default Weird Power issue

Was heading home tonight and noticed i had the freeway all to my self in either direction. so i decided to open it up and go for a little burst of speed :P
at about 135mph the stereo and dash lights all kicked off. and didnt come back on until i dropped under 70 again. and the rest of the way home they continued to flash on and off every few minutes. and the idle seemed to be very weak. everything looked ok, oil pressure fine, amps normal temp normal. no weird smells

so im kinda puzzled any ideas?

Any chance you it is due to the speed limiter?

Camaro returned in 1995 with the same lineup.
The Buick 3800 Series II V6 (L36 3.8L) was introduced midyear, most were available only in California, eclipsing the 3.4L OHV. Base Eagle GA tires were upgraded from S-rated to T-rated, and the speed limiter was raised from 105 to 115 mph.

Yup it was the BCM, the bottom one had a HUGE crack all the way around and the top 3 had hairline cracks. reflowed and added a little extra solder and it worked like a charm. thanks guys
