anyone????

 

Before the next election, get a large group of people to vote against...

Oh- er, well, it's basically in your computer chip. 2 ways around it- custom burn a chip to delete the limiter, or put a switch on your VSS line so it won't report to the computer. Then, the computer won't know how fast you're going. Problem is, with your 1991's electric speedometer, your speedometer will also be disabled.

Hell, I gotta wait until a couple more years for this Davis wimp of an idiot to go away.
Same thing with that jerk little Bushie.

In the tranny or is there another one? Tranny one, pop off the cover & slip it out. It's by the speedo cable on my 1985

Any one know what she did wrong.
now to put thi back on topic you can get a ADS chip for like 50 bucks i think they cst and that will give a little performance and KILL the govenor

 

I go with Fast RS on this one...get a chip so it kills the governor the more powerful and easier less time consuming way

When did they start putting in governors in this computer?
I'm sure I've hit atleast 100MPH & no dying engine.
What's my top speed supposed to be?
Besides how fast can I go, or, more like, what is the cut off speed?

Imagine the "Party Ticket" Laura Bush could (barely) stand up for!

i think its 120 there was a post a while back sayin how us v-6 guys could beat a z28 i top end becasue of ther gov bin at 118 and ours bein at 120.

 

well my 92 3.1 is set at around 112-115 I know from experiance the shutting down of cylinders is not a pleasant experiance at that speed...

 

yeah i took it out on the Freeway tonite and got it upto 110 when that friggin govenor kicked in

thats sucks

mine goes on at 110

where can i buy a computer chip to disable it???

 

You drove this car on the freeway at 110 MPH & you want to go faster.
Where in New Jersey can you safely go faster anymore?
Beef up your current suspension and then decide to go faster, IT's safer.
Do you have your 1LE brake upgrade yet??

not yet

but i want it badly!!!!!!!!!!!

can i change my rear drums to discs???

how much will this brake upgraded cost???

but yeah i got it to 110 on the Garden State Parkway tonite

i know of a few places to get it higher......... hehehe

 

Oh, there's plenty of places.. just not during the day. The 1LE brake upgrade will cost you a fortune; and yes, you can put rear discs on your car, I did it last August. Search the archives for those messages.

AND YOU DID NOT GET POPPED!!!!!!!
MAN are you LUCKY!!!!!!
I have ONE place in LA I feel safe enough to do this type of high speed driving.
And it's only 5-7 AM Sunday morning.
Used to be able to do it on the Pacific Coast Highway, going toward Malibu, but, no more. Radar & the California Highway Patrol.

OH go to the temporary 1LE BRAKE section in the TOPICS of the 3rd gen org.
You'll see how to do it!

I REALLY HOPE you keep being that lucky. I do not recall many intelligent drivers on the Garden State Parkway.
FOR THAT MATTER OUT IN LA EITHER!!

Hey KED isnt that what the 118 23 and 405 are fore 118 and th 23 is the best at around 3 am no one is out

 

well

the speed limit is 65

but everyone does atleast 80

so i squeezed in a few mph in the fast lane

i should really get a radar detector

 

What a concept
My Brother got tagged with radar at night time. Cops were freaking idiots.
Jersey cops really are freaking idiots.
Both I ever met.
I never race the highways anymore.
IF I would, Marina Del Rey Freeway, the 90.
Last time I raced it, I won, but blew up te engine anyway.
I never heard so many "I told you so" from my old fiance, in my life!

I do have a better and safer place, tho.
It's about 5 miles long. 3 lanes of super highway, cement divider, great views of all oncoming things.
That's why I go there, so safe.

Man, how I miss those Van Nuys Street Racing days!

what about the governor on carberated cars? how fast is it set at, i have an 85 speedo so i dont know, but i've never had it shut down it just keeps on going.

 

Mine does also on my 1985. I'm sure I've been to 100 so far.
I need new tires and tranny work before I go high speed hunting.
I wonder if this car can go faster than my 1974 Corvette.
Shame the Firebird speedo only goes up to 85 mph.
I need to read atleast 124MPH (tops in my Corvette, so far).

Hey Sky...since you have no computer, there's no governor.

 

If i remeber correctly i herd that all 81 and upcars got computers in them

 

it doesn't have a computer, that i found out after i looked for it under my passenger dash.since it has no governor how fast will it go?not like i will ever go very fast but it is nice to know.it has 3.42.

 

On a slight downhill, in my S-10 Blazer with about 175,000 miles, I got it up to 90mph.
Same drivetrain as you.

ive gotten it up to 105 because i was following my friends mustang and he said we were crusing at 105, his speedo goes 120 and his car is a 2001 so the speedo is right. it was in the desert and no one was around for about 20 miles, just another good thing of living in the middle of no where.

 

Dump in a V-8!
Go have fun!
You have the perfect platform to do this so simple.

Tom,
I promise ya,
I'M AS CONFUDDLED AS YOU ARE!

I can only offer my Helms book for my offer of no computer for my 1985 S-10 Blazer.
And my Blazer, too!
I still have it and there's no computer.
Would LOVE TO SEE A 1982-84 Helms book for details to this small mystery!

Besides that dump in a V-8 go have fun!!
