Volvo 740 Will not pass 190 km

I have a 740 GLE 1989 16 valve.
The tranmission has been chaged from the 3 speed with od to a tranmission out of my other volvo a 1986 740 GLE 8 valve. The tranmission is a 4 speed now and the car still will only go 190 km if a push it hard. I fiqure the car has a fuel limter or speed limter and I was hoping someone could help me get rid of what ever is stoping the car from going faster. The engine is tuned and is running great but the problem is when I hit 190 the car will not go any faster and either stays at redline (6000 RPMS) or if I let off the gas off the floor it will shift up and not go any faster. The car did the same thing with the 3 speed tranmission in it but now its got any extra gear not od. I figure it should at least go faster if not alot faster now but I guess theirs something stoping it from using the next gear.

If someone could help me out and tell me what to modify or get to allow the car to use somemore of the power it has that would be great.

Thanks to who every can help me.
