stops at 115

ay guy i need some help i was cruising down the interstate and some guy was trying to race him well about a buck ten later i was winning and he was nowhere to be seen i kept going to see if i can get it to 120 then at 115 the car seem like it lost all speed and went to 115 to 110
my friend said it was called a govenor i did some research and wat happends is this "govenor" basically shuts off the feul injectors to hold back feul
so to conclusion how da hell do i get rid of this???

Re: stops at 115

changing the fuel cutoff speed in the prom is one of the easier things to do when it comes to chip burning.

Thanks 1tpi.
I came back to this post hoping that I would not have to be the first.

Bird dude this is not a place where ppl enjoy hearing about your irresponsible speed exploits, we keep all of that on the track and still have a hard time keeping ourselves and the ones we love alive & in one piece.

Your technical question has been answered, most would say regrettably so.

I hope you have many years of your passion for speed and power to enjoy. Please try to do so responsibly, as the rest of us strive to do.

thats just an ignorant statement man...

one your car nor your tires im sure can handle that speed or more than that so dont bother taking the governor off

slow down before you kill someone

people race slow cars on the track all the time you dont have to have a fast car to go...and your car wont hit 115 on the track anyways
