disabling govner?

'96 v6. Can this be done? At 120 mph it shuts itself down. Have another 3 grand on tack that can't be used. I know this is a legal issue with manufacturer but there has to be a way to disable? Any thoughts?

i think it can be disabled through the pcm but you have to hook one of those tuner machines upto it I think.

yeah you need a programmer.. Problem is, im not sure if they make one for the V6.. Look at
PCMforless, Hypertech, JetChips.. bout all I can think of for now..

Yea im currently using the latest one the programs called pathfinder and tho expencive i can tune everything intake,stall converter,and the speed limiter.

you have to reprogram the ECU, however no one makes one for the pre-98 v-6s. none of the PROM flasher programs that some sites sell dont have the correct files for the sixers. tis the life we chose...

I just used a programmer on a 1991 LeSaber yesterday i will get the name of the old system for you maybe you might be able to find one.

Buy a programmer and u can chang a lot of things like the shift points and speedlimiter air fule mix and more. th

As it stands right now there isn't a program or anything that I know of for our cars (93-97 v6). Shoot me a PM tho this winter cuz there may be one then.

:evillol: Yes there are a few . Try hypertech,or Granatolli Motor Sport,they have a few units that come with the programmer an the cooler thermostat,that u will need to make it work right.

not responsible for the consequences i will state outright. i dont know how well it would work with obd II since this is the old school way that works on third gens. but what you do is disable the vss and then the computer has no way of knowing how fast and no limit. problem is speedo doesnt know how fast ur goin either. you could also wire in a switch to the wire(s) to enable and disable at your pleasure. i dont recommend doing this tho as it is considered tampering with the odometer and its illegal and all that. be responsible if you do bypass the limiter, dont need to lose another f body :(

You are electronically limited. I don't care what anyone says, you cannot bypass this using any programmer. I've been working on Camaros and Trans Ams for almost 6 years now and have yet to see it properly done :)

Your better off not going that fast anyways unless you have Z rated tires :)

I ran two lines with gator clips to a bypass switch ( with a cool green light ) just get a wiring diagram of the car , there is always someway you can do it at the harness. Find the wire on the diagram that runs for the Governor , color code it to schematics , snip it , connect it to a switch , turn it off and on at will. Dunno if that would work for a 97 though. I have a 3rdgen and it worked fine.
