If your V6 is fuel injected and made before 1990, then you have an MPFI 2.8. If it's 90-92, it's an MPFI 3.1. And I believe 82-84 got a carbureted 2.8. The governor....I assume it's programmed into the computer's PROM. You'd have to replace that with a custom one to disable the speed limiter....that's my guess anyways.

I thought the governor was set at 110? Or was it 115 for the 85 mph speedo cars and 110 for the 110 mph speedo cars?

It can vary a bit. I think GM did this to make it harder to find the location within the cal. My '92 was set at 115 off, 112 back on.

The rev limiter is set to 6,212 RPM off, then back on at 5,985 RPM. They are the factory settings.
