How do you remove the govenor / rev limiter. My car tops out at 112mph I believe. A buddy of min on his tc said all he had to do was unplug something and it was removed? let me know please.

I think you mean 5sFe. I'm fairly certain certain there is no govenor on GTs.

I thought a governer regulates/directs hydraulic pressure in an automatic tranny?

If your GT is in the US it has a governer unless it gets rerouted. Removing the governer makes your car not street legal. And I'm pretty sure it kicks in at 120 mph, as I tested it in my ST on the way to Galveston. Perhaps the GT is different than mine, but I can't imagine why they would let the 7A go faster than the 5S. But then again, stranger things have happened... -------------------- "He won't come out of the bathroom. He keeps telling us we're dark somethings and not his friends."

my ST has a governor that kicks in at 116, and my GT i have reached 135 indicated and then it was drag limited, but with more HP it would have gone further than that at least. Just my experience

I know the ST has a fuel cut at 5k rpm in 5th stopping it at around 115-116. I remember somewhere on here is how to remove it.
All i remember is you need to cut some wire in the back of your ecu and doing this will result in a permanent check engine light. |

There is no limiter on the gt. But there is no need to go over 112. I was just young and stupid
