how can this be achieved?
i heard of temporarily disconection the vats gear sensor thing, but it had a side effect of turning off the speedometer.

is there a way to keep the computer from cutting fuel at 110?

 

my 2.8 can go faster than 110,
the guy before had teeny tiny lowrider tires on it, and i guess he had the computer reset for them. well, i bought tires that were a little bigger than stock size, and now the speedo is about 10mph off. i can go up to where my speedo says 109 and be going about 120 (or more??)
so just change your tires

 

reprogram your PROM

 

you can do that, but it will only buy you another 10MPH or so............................

 

what tools and where can i get them to reprogram a prom? i have a jet stage II chip

ps will a 140mph camaro speedometer cuage cluster fit into my 92, and have the correct #'s?

 

if you have a JET chip , i believe your govenor should be removed already

correct me if i'm wrong please

 

No your right. It SHOULD be gone...

 

"if you have a JET chip , i believe your govenor should be removed already"

nope the damn bugger still exists... hit the limiter on my way home tonight...

 

<--- scared to go above 100+

 

WWasem......same here, and I have.....been up to 110....not sure if i hit the limiter cause I got off it and didn't test it....

 

What's the year of your car, RPS?

 

i dont think its ur limiter...

im guessing here either ur ignition system cant hold up / ur injectors cant pump enough fuel.....

what coil,wires,plugs do u have ?

also whats the injectors u have..(mostly its just cause of the injectors- old )

 

Governor at 110 MPH??? I have an 85 2.8 and I have gone at least 120...I flew past my buddy who was already doing 120 so I was probably going faster...and I never felt anything kick off...This brings me to another question...Where is the governor on our cars???Is it inside the transmission or something like that...cause I know for a fact that my car goes well above 110 without that kicking on...however...its not really healthy as the car was shaking and I was scared of something in the front end breaking off....haven't had the car over 75 since...

the govenor is not an actual, physical thing..........its data programed inside your PROM that tells your engine to shut off when it hits 120 (?) MPH



obviously, its a safety feature

 

Usually its around 110-115.
and yes the signal that turns on the limiter is from the speedo. Kill that signal go faster. So you "COULD" wire a "KILL" switch when you go highway top end.

 

but that way u will also lose ur speedo...(since u have to cut the voltage from the VSS to speedo/computer)

so ull have no idea how fast u are going...

 

i was wondering if there is a better way than just cutting the power to the vss,

i have a 92 camaro 3.1
a new accel supercoil, little older accel 8mm wires, new bosh platinum II"s

its pretty stable at 110. dosent shake to much


my ignition systems are pretty new... the fuel will cut at exacty around 112. every time.
i have new pirelli 225 p4000's the speed rating is above 120.

 

Joe, there is a governor inside the automatic transmissions, but it's name is misleading; that governor actually controls the tranny's shift points, not the vehicle's speed.

 

i have an 86 2.8 litre 5 speed and i have had it well up over 120 mph messing around with my buddies racing on the back roads, and i have yet to hit my govenor i really do not think my car has one in it, and if it does it is set for over 130 mph

 

not till the late 80s early 90s did they install the 110 kill switch. only reason they did that was, Gm and other mans. dont put the best of tires on a car. so they can only let the car go as fast as the speed rating of the tires.

not many places are gonna put a z rated tire on any car, they are 160+ rated. next step down is around 110.

 

anybody want a 110 video so they can see how it stops at 110?

 

heh.. I had my '90 runnin' good the other night... the speedo goes to 110... the needle was past the "h" on "MPH" and still going... how fast would that be?? around 120 i guess? heh. i love to race new cars/trucks... especially ford trucks... who the hell ever heard of a 99 mph limiter?? LOL ferd suxz

 

This is a hairbrained idea but here it goes.

For anybody that wants to defeat the limiter + gain a higher mph speedo, here's what you do.

Lets say you have 2.77 ratio gears in the rearend. Your speedo gears (VSS) are matched to this. Purchase new drive & driven gears(Behind the VSS) for a 3.70 rearend. SLP sells these gear sets for $26.90.

Now when your speedo is reading lets say 100mph, you are probably actually doing in the neighborhood of 120- 130 at a guess.

This is where it gets tricky. Next have a buddy drive next to you in a car with an accurate speedo and simply record every lets say 20mph increments. If he is doing 20mph and yours reads 16mph, make a note. Next, if hes doing 40mph and you are doing 31mph, make another note, etc...

Now with these speeds recorded, repaint the # on your speedo to match.

Again, its hairbrained but it works!
