Why does everyone assume we are doing this on the street and not on the highway? haha.

I have done it on the highway, but its still not safe and shouldnt be done. Its dangerous and if your going to go faster then 105mph, it should be at the track. And if your car is going to take 90seconds to make 105mph anyways, ITS POINTLESS. Now my car WILL trap much higher then 105 in the 1/4, thats why im doing this project with the SMT-6. I know it will work, i just gotta get my forged internals in so i can finish putting my motor together.

The response itself does not change... turning 45 degrees will still equate to the same amount of wheel turn. What the sticker means when it says that is the power-assist itself is variable... i.e. it is harder to turn the wheel at higher velocities. The feature you're talking about is something you're going to have to buy an awful lot more car (and probably not american unless you get one of the very few) to get a hold of.

If i were you you should we worrying about a lot more things then the governor. Trust me...
Yea I understand wat u are saying but it just bothers me. And I am building a custum turbo kit and try to get the most I can out of a stock 2.2. Im prety sure that I should be able to hit the 260 hp, but lets see how it goes. I know u been messing around with the 2.2 alot and would like to get bak about the fuel manegement.

My balt is a base model with contis and today i let off of it at about 110mph, so its not governed at 105 like i thought. I must say, it pulled pretty good til then too.

i've hit the 125mph mark and i'm under the impression that its 110-125 and not 105-120. the averages seem to reflect that our cars are 5 miles over the stated speed governer rating.
