Yea, mine is governed to 120mph :\ Kinda gay. Then again, my tires suck and a blow-out at those speeds would be deadly

well.. technically.... no. the distance between numbers is smaller because 160 has more marks.. so a speedo that reads to 70 or 80 will go real fast while accelerating, where as a speedo that goes to 160 it will take longer for the needle to move as far. look at the old fox body 5.0's. they read upto 85mph if i remeber... but that dosnt mean the car is limited to 85 mph, or that 85mph has anything to do with its speed.

so a car can exceed over the max number?
mine reads up to 140, but i think it's "max" is around 120-130... now, is the factory max limit for stock? if i have a aftermarket header, exhaust, cai, etc...will it exceed the factory limit? |

If you changed the ECU, the governer would probably change however.

145 - 150
member, you won't ever hit that speed unless you are falling off a cliff. Even then you'd need a boulder strapped to the back of your car.

That's about your top. 4th & 5th won't do much afterwards. Governor is used to regulate the speed. Kind of a cap on the speed.

Are you sure about that? My car tops out at 100mph in 3rd gear (hits the rev limiter). Even then, the Civic has closer gear ratios. I'm sorry, just sounds strange. -Ducky

my 3rd can only hit around 90 before it starts slipping and the rev limit kicks in. Maybe you're talking about 4th in 4th i can hit 115 easily.

Mine hits 150 with the extra hash after 140. I've had it to about 120 or so, don't know where the governor is.
I had a 4 cylinder 4 speed Dodge Colt as my first car. That speedo went to 135 or so. Had it buried going downhill for about 30-45 seconds once. That's my own personal land speed record. |
