can someone help me out with some info on the speed limiter govenor. I can only hit about 109mph, and thier is still more but I am restricted because of a govenor does any one know how to remove it of re program it. I would like to go faster then that.

thanks

Nobody here will tell you how because it is against the rules of the forum. The last thing anyone wants to do is give that information out and have someone go out and kill themselves on a public road.

Most on here will tell you to provide a timeslip from a 1/4 dragstrip with proof of your car reaching 109, but then if your car is fast enough to reach that speed at a track than you should be mechanically inclined enough to know how to do it yourself.

does it hurt to know how fast your car can go off public lands in controlled environment?

the piont is, is that the governor is put there for a reason. the stock suspension and brakes etc can not handle like it should at higher speeds then that

You have a very mildly modified car...you're not going to be seeing anywhere close to 109 at a drag strip nor are you at a auto-x event. Are you trying to do NASCAR racing on a circle track?

PLENTY performance. But no 108+Mhp for any of us until we earn it through experience, know-how, and lots of hard work.

terminal velocity kicks a$$

/\ /\ /\ or anything else electrical in the car either ! LOL

In all seriousness first I can't believe this isn't locked yet and secondly if you can't beat someone by the time you hit, say 60 to 80 why do you think your gonna be able to run them down past 108 ?

Really? SO to finish the 1/4 mile is not a reason?

He has already stated he is doing it legally, but yet no one has touched that part. No one has tried to verify if he is telling the truth, or not. We say on here when you have a reason to we will tell you, but when someone says they do we do not even think twice about it.

Yeah they say that but that is all a bunch of crap as well.

you've been here 2 days. where exactly is he gonna do over 108mph legally. id really like to hear this one? sure as hell not in the 1/2 mile

if you know how to do it, then tell him. and when he crashes and dies or kills an innocent bystander, you can hold it on YOUR conscience


and fill out your profile

Not to be an a$$ or say I agree with this guy disabling his governor, but he said he was racing in the salt flats.
