Computer Control???

I have an 85 Berlinetta with the lg4. It has a 4bbl, and I recently found out that it is limited to 85 mph. Except for this and the auto tranny, what elese is controled by the computer?

Actually, the cluster has its own microprocessor, which limits the display value to 85 mph, or 136 kph, but not the vehicle speed. The ECM, which controls the engine, may have a speed limiter enabled, but that would be a function of the PROM in the ECM. I doubt that the speed is limited to as low as 85 mph, though, if it in fact does have a speed limiter.
