| eh, all this talk on chipped limits... I didn't know the 95's were limited. Many times I've had mine over 130. and as far as I know the computer hasn't been tampered with. I'm the 2nd owner of this car and I'm pretty sure the old guy who bought it had the speed limiter taken out. | |

| I don't know about '95s though. I don't remember any govn'r on my '94 Regal. I don't think they started speed limiting until OBD-II. | |

| I have a friend who had a 95 and he said he got it over 120 plenty of times. Maybe not all had governors. | |

Well when my speedometer goes about 3/4 of an inch past 120mph, that's usually a good indicater  | |

| i see.
just out of curiosity what was the build date on your door panel? maybe the early 95's didnt have limits!?! anyone else with a 95 verify that it does or doesnt stop at 108/112? _________________ 1996 with 254k miles, L32 4" FWI -> ported N* -> Ported Gen V w/3.0" Pulley, Stage 3 Phenolic I/C, ZZP FMHE, 1.84 RR, Headers and 3" pipe to mufflers, F-body brakes, and lowered on Eibachs. -RIP AMG C400 White on black.

| My Riv was built in March '95...is that an early Riv?
Never mind though, because I'm not one to go speeding with a permit or a junior lisence.

| I believe on your car as on the rest, it can only be adjusted electronically in the PCM with the proper tuning equipment. | |
