interceptor bhp?

[moj213g]

can anybody tell me the bhp and or torque for a 98+ police interceptor, i can't find it anywhere. And is it possible to remove the speed limiter from my 99 GM. Right now i stop at about 104, and there is still plenty of power. Do i need to reprogram my computer or what?

The '96-'00 CVPIs will have about 165-170HP at the rear wheels, this includes the "HPP" equipped civilian cars w/dual exhaust. The '01-'03s have closer to 190HP, and the '04 up about 200-205 RWHP.

You do not technically have a speed limiter, but a torque limiter, and it is there for a VERY good reason, to prevent you from destroying your driveshaft.

My GM has the performance/handling package, with the alluminum(?) drive shaft and the 3.27 axel ratio, It has a completly different suspension than the regular one with huge sway bars. I can not find anything that the PI has that my GM doesn't, besides the fact that mine is limited at 103mph. I know they have programmable computers, that can be tuned with some ford computer programmer. I just want to be able to take it as fast as the PI. I was racing my buddy on the interstate in his 2000 PI and i pulled two car lengths on him untill i hit 103 and he flew by me. it there anything i can do.

His 2000 CVPI has steeper gears (3.55) and a better driveshaft (AMMX).

I could list all the things the PI has that your HPP does not, but it would take me 30 minutes to type it all.

Basically, yes you can mke your top speed faster, but you are already 40 MPH over the legal, so I'll leave you to figure out the "how" by yourself.

Cool....racing down the open road. How old are you anyway? I highly doubt you need to be driving Daddy's new truck at such a high rate of speed. How are you gonna feel when you kill a family of six on their way home from the drive-in? But of course, the road was empty, right? Yeah, okay. How are you going to feel when your buddy loses control of his car and eats windshield? FYI, you CAN be charged with manslaughter if someone is killed in a street race...

Don't be stupid.

Oh and by the way, BHP stands for Boiler Horsepower and one BHP is equal to about 13 horsepower.... It's what steam engines produce, not cars.

[moj213g]

you are a fucking ass licker bhp is brake horse power. I don't know whose truck you are talking about i was talking about a mercury grand marquis. how you got the impression i was talking about a truck?
i would be sad if i killed a family on the road, but if it was you i would probably be able to live with it. what is the deal with these fags that reply to my questions on this forum. i asked for a simple answer not a lecture on what it's like inside the mind of a middle aged loser who has nothing better to do than lecture people who he thinks are irresponsible.
I am 25 years old, my dad has never owned a truck and you are a fucking homo. and my car is not steam powered.

Actually bhp stands for Base Horse Power,and is used mostly on dyno machines to determine an engines horse power throughout its entire rpm range.Lmfao.......how did that guy get Boiler Horse Power from bhp,he must have grew up in the time of steam powered cars.

Thought he said GMC, didn't see GM. Oh well, I was tired.

And yes BHP stands for boiler horse power also, look it up if you'd like!

BTW.... I don't know where this moron gets middle aged....I'm younger than he is!

Well I looked it up and it turns out you where wrong:{Taken From Internet}

Definitions of BHP on the Web:

BHP:Brake horsepower. A measurement standard used by manufacturers to help consumers compare engines. NOTE: BHP is measured at the maximum operating RPM of the engine, which may not be the RPM level at which your engine will provide maximum life and consistent performance.
www.osengines.com/glossary.html


BHP:brake horsepower, the effective or available power of an engine or turbine, measured at the output shaft. It is equivalent to the calculated horsepower, less the power lost in friction.

BHP:Brake horsepower, Calculated horsepower required at the driven shaft, at the desired speed. Bhp is the term usually used with fans and pumps.
http://www.saftronics.com/HVAC/pages...s/Glossary.htm


BHP;A measurement of the actual usable power (not calculated power) measured at the output shaft (usually the crankshaft) rather than at the driveshaft or the wheels. Thus none of the auxiliaries (gearbox, generator, alternator, differential, water pump, etc.) are attached. It is called the brake horsepower because the shaft power is usually measured by an absorption dynamometer or "brake." This is not the brake on the vehicle's wheels but a testing device applied to the shaft. This instrument is applied to stop or absorb the rotation of the output shaft and returns a value.

OK.....But Were talking about The Definition of BHP as related to Cars with Gasoline Engines Here,Not Trains,Locomotives etc...with steam powered Boiler engines.
