Modifying my ECU
I was told to mess with my Ecu to get my car to stop cutting out when i reach 118mph. Basically a governor. I was wondering does anybody know what i need to do to my ECU?

I did this using a switch. Once you cut the wire, solder extension wires to each of the cut ends and then run them to a toggle switch.
I put mine here: (red switch next to fuse box panel)
This way, you don't get a CEL, and you can just deactivate the speed governer when you need to. BTW the CEL does not come on right away - it will come on after about 15 minutes of driving with the circuit broken.

I believe I am correct in saying that. If they had some damn good mods.. then they possible could get to 180. NOS or S/C. I dont even know if bolt ons will allow them to go that fast. Also.. ask them what kind of suspension and tires they got.. lol
