Well I hope I am not the only one who has a speed governor but I topped out at 125-130 and the car would not accelerate further. Which caused me to run out and buy a ECU chip(Rica). Which caused me to buy a full downpipe and exhaust. Which caused me to go out and test whether or not the computer speed limiter had been removed. So my new top speed is 153 and that was a blast on the 52 from La Jolla to I-15 and the R still had some accelerator left. It did not feel light at all, and the only suspension part I have is a strut tower bar. Has anybody else hit the speed governor?
