y do u need to go faster then ur governor allows? if ur not breaking the speed limit in the 1/4 then u dont need to worry about it. u dont need to go that fast on the streets.

What kind of racing do you do that you hit 105 on the track. If your doing 1/4 mile i doubt your even hitting 100mph

i was telling the "what if" story to you but the other guy asking why it mattered to me. but in ur sig it says LS and only mods are I/e. im gonna pull the BS flag on the high 13's in the quarter. i want to see time slips. or if u have other mods.

...if you have a turbo kit, use whatever tuning setup the kit came with and have the governor modified

well sounds like a nice turbo, trifecta should hook you up with removing the limiter. The people on this website need proof for everything so if you dont post a timeslip or a video be prepared to be flamed.
