Top speed?
What is the governer set at on our TBI 305 cars? I have an 88, if that makes any difference. Is it higher, or lower than 100? I guess there is only one way for me to find out, but it would be a little easier for someone to just tell me.
Thanks

oh, by the way, there is no need to get a chip to get rid of this limiter. there's a tech article on how to turn it off with just a simple radio shack switch

The speed limiter is set to 115mph on Base Firebird/ Camaro RS models. I have pegged it many a time. Now I go right on by it with the new chip.

i am almost positive that i hit ~120 one time. i know that it "shouldn't" be possible, but i remember doing it. i didnt get a good look at the speedo though because i was too intent on making sure i didn't end up wearing my friend's jeep as a hood ornament. but i DO know that it was past the 115 and nearing about where the 120 should have been.
i could be wrong though.
