Re: hypertech chip remove speed limiter?
this article was taken from thirdgen.org
By Bradley Elliott
Many of the third generation f-bodies to come from GM were equipped with a vehicle speed limiter which prevented attaining the true top speed that the vehicles were capable of. Their reasoning for a speed limiter included such factors as tires that were not rated for higher speeds, keeping insurance rates down, and just for flat out safety. However, most of the Camaros and Firebirds that were speed limited were the low output versions using the 305 TBI engine. For Z28 and other TPI f-body owners, this is good news because they do not have the "governer" to contend with. However, other owners such as myself are often irritated by the inability to attain the top speed that our vehicles could otherwise perform.
