  • Top Speed ?

    Hello everyone I'm asking if anyone knows why camaro's top out at 125MPH if they are the 3.4L model. I was driving home and I decided to floor it to see what the car had and she topped out at 125MPH then my fuel was cut off does anyone know how can I take that restriction off. I also plan to turbo charge it since people on the forums have been bragging that they can do 8 pounds of boost on a stock motor.

        Hell, I'm glad yours goes to 125. My speedometer does, but the governor (what you're talking about) kicks in at 110. Mine is a 93 3.4L Camaro. The top speed limit is controlled by the ECU. And there is not really a way to tune it or so I've heard. If I remember right, OBDII wasn't used until 96, but the 95 and I think 94 used a sort of b**tard OBDII setup, though it's not truly OBDII. I think the 3.8 guys can run 10-12lbs of boost on theirs stock, but ours is like 6-8 safely, but 10 isn't unheard of.

                Yeah, goin 125 or 120.. or 110.. or anything rediculous on public roads is kinda dumb anyways. Find a dragstrip. See how fast you can go on that. Top speed is great and all but getting there is where all the fun is.

                      I'm not lying why would I. The only reason i want to go faster is to beat my brothers modified jaguar that has a Chevy 350 block.

                            Ok, you just need to get rid of the governor. Like.. are you guys just doing top speed races then? I don't understand the point.. You could make a lawnmower go 200 with the right gears. Hey, why don't you work on that. That'd be somethin I'd want to see :excited: :burn:

                              Then don't try to remove the top speed limiter. That's unnecessary/stupid/dangerous. Mod your car so you can get to that top speed faster.
