The governor gear in the transmission or do you think your car has a speed limiter which won't allow it to exceed a certain speed?

Your governor is a girlie man:



Who knows where he is. I wouldn't try to take him out though.



All kidding aside, the governor in your trans basically senses your vehicle's speed to help determine when your trans shifts. If you take it out (disable it), your trans won't upshift.

So leave Ah-nold in!!
