Governer at 110

Hey i have an 89 camaro rs 305 5.0L TBI. my governer kicks on at 110 and i was going to get a chip for it so it doesnt do that, i was also told that just getting a chip uprgrade will prevent the governer from kicking on. but i am not sure. if anyone knows how to prevent the governer from kicking in at 110 or what i need to do let me know. thanks alot.

First you need to get speed rated tires. Then you'd need to get a chip programmed with the speed limiter set to max, 255 mph.

Does that seem kinda low, I dont know if the govenors changed for the 91's, but I was going close to or over 110 and didnt feel it kick in. Mines a 91. Maybe im wrong, but I know some jurkoff will correct me with some sarcastic crap.
Yeah, 3 freking stars!!!

Thats about right.. the fuel cut off is set to 108 MPH and resume is 106.

Good to see theres some maturity on this forum...thanks Morley

i remember reading somewhere that the speed limiter setting is dependent upon the option package that came from the factory, cars equipped with higher rated tires had a higher limiter setting...is that right morley?
i also have a '91 RS, and when i was running the stock TBI computer, it would cut out around 108.

Just buy a McClaren F1 and you wont have to worry about those silly governors ^_^

Yep, the cars that came with non speed rated tires had the limiter set to 108.

yeah i have tires that are capable of higher speeds. so i just need to find a chip that will give me a higher top speed? or will a regular all around power and horsepower chip do the trick?

my rs cut out at 115???? *shrugs*

I was thinking more about an M5. wanna buy it for me?
If you do i'll give you food for the rest of the year.

lol

So do i need to get a chip specificially designed for increasing top speed. or will just a standard all around performance chip take care of my problem?

The "performance chips" are junk, for what you pay you get basically nothing in return. Just get someone to burn you a new chip with the speedlimiter removed. It would take them about 15 minutes to do it.

What experience do you have with performance chips morley? and do they not do what the manufacturers say they do???

depends on which one you get. i dont know too much about 3rd gens.

my dads ford ranger hits the speed limiter at 91 mph, that sucks, i was getting smoked by my friends 94 camry 4cyl.

They never live up to the claims the mfg's make.

Mine cuts out at 110mph and i have the same car....89 tbi rs with the 5 liter. Scared that absolute crap out of me the first time it cut off. How do I make a sig?

You should have any need to go over 100mph anyways.

says who?

says who?

The guy who had Z28 badges on a 6

Yer both idiots. :D

No badges on it anymore, retard.

And I really can't think of a situation where 99 wouldn't be fine.

why only go 99? whats wrong with 160? both are illegal...and u can die doing either....

160 is alot more likely to die :P and 99 was just a sarcastic number thrown in.

Theres no realistic reason, unless your racing or something stupid.
But ive done it and so has everyone else on this forum....probably at least once

Fastest I've gone in my maro is 83mph.

That's surprising. I bet most camaro owners can't say that. Who wants to have a fast car, but doesn't want to open it up once in a while on a good stretch of open road?

However, I will give you an adda-boy for being more conscientious than the rest of us

Ist bright orange and loud and CHP (California Highway Patrol) Honestly have followed me for a good 20 miles total. So I stay in the slow lane cause everyone is waiting for me to peel out and race someone over 100mph.

In my other car I hit +100 twice but cruised at 90 all the time

Fastest I've gone in my maro is 83mph.
subtract 3 and multiply by 2.... scary but awesome

yeah nothing like driving a car that just screams LOOOK AT MEEEEEE!!!! and then trying to figure out why the cops always seem to be around lol. gotta say, fastest ive been was 120. did it in the IROC on the way home from arkansas, i was toying with a cute girl in a cavalier on my way through nashville. if i went faster than that, shed fall behind, so thats as far as i pushed it. Dont have a long enough stretch of road around here thats free of cops to try and test the speedo to the 145 limit.

don't worry about cops they wont be able to see or catch you when your goin that fast, lol. So lord yeah!!
