Topout or Govener

Ok, I either topped my car out at 110-115mph or the govener kicked in. Im not too sure which one it was can anyone tell me? (At 115 it sounded like it kick me down a gear, slow me down to like 105, then I went back up to 115, and it kicked me down again.)

lol before i set mines to 250 (like it would ever do it) i was racing this guy in a bmw and as soon as we got to 125 it started jerking and shit, then i couldnt go any faster, i was so pissed. the next day i whipped out the old hp tuner and kicked up the limiter

yup, first time it happend to me, i was racing a mercedies SL500, like i had a chance in the RS, but we were in traffic (i know i know, it was several years ago and i was retarded, one of my realllllllly stupid moments.) and i held up with him till 115 when my car just stopped accelerating.

My damn Monte's guv is at 110-115 why the hell cant it just goto the seepometer limit?! I was racing this Plymouth Duster and I couldnt accelerate any more (I was at 110) and the damn thing just started going ahead, bastard.. I was winning too.

man, if only you could bribe a guy to update your PCM's program with the police version, it would allow you to run up to 126mph

Damn, I need that.

Also ever since THIS happend I NEVER race on the highway anymore, even though I know this really great highway too that has 0 cops on it and its like a 6-8 lane highway, and its always clear for some reason, enough to race on it anyway.

damn where do u live? when i use to live in ND we use to race on that highway all the time i think it was interstate 29. flat and straight for miles and miles. your radar detector could pick a cop us miles down the raod hell u could see them miles down the road if their were any. and nine time outta ten they didnt bother chasing u if they saw u speeding. nothing but farm land and a airforce base lol. great days in the eclispe back then

I live in TX, this highway is awesome but I dont go on it anymore because if I race on it is has to be like 60+ from a roll which is real bad for a 4 speed auto. Plus I found out when my tranny shifts its gears so I let off the gas and hit it again so it shifts like a manual, won LOTS of races because of it

89IROC&RS · #13 07-02-2005, 01:31 PM

you lift off the gas........... at every shift.......... and wind up going faster?????????

Yes, like from 1st to 2nd I take my foot off the gas and then step on it again you make the car shift into second and it keeps the speed up like a manual, because I noticed that if you just keep the gas on the pedal the whole time in an auto when it goes into 2nd it doesnt move up as fast into second like it did in 1st, but doing this makes it go fast in 2nd like 1st.
