Do anyone with an ECU upgrade or Tuner know if their limiter was removed from the flash?

Idk about the govenor but I have done 130mph recently and still pulling with out shutting down. Maybe the tuner pushes it up or turns it off. I thought i remembered seeing something more like 140 something.

Check into a tunning company then....BSR, IPD, PPC tuner...etc.

See if they remove the limiter, and not to metion the better power and torque.

To go faster, should have bought a faster car. I am sure a tuning company can set the limit higher or remove it, but unless you had some better parts I doubt you'll ever see something higher then 130MPH.

The "Performance Software" from The Powerchip Group sold through EVOLVE I believe is supposed to remove the limiter. Talk to Don Nicholson over there and he'll tell you a bit more about it. Made a HUGE difference in my T5.
