back in 61 my uncle had a 61 plymouth that would do 110 in 2nd gear 145 in 3rd(3 speed standard) in a 1/4 mile he only had to shift once, now if only my neon could have power like that it would be something crazy.

p.s. that was only with a shift kit and 4.85 rear end gears.

back when mopars where mopars and if you had a hemi you was unstopable

idk wen i topped my car out i was in 5th gear and i got it up to 135mph and it wouldnt go farther, it was also near redline so i let off. Isnt it bad to keep the revs past 6000 or on redline?

Yes it is bad!, you should not be hitting the redline for an excessive amount time unless you have components that can handle it! and Thanks for bringing back this old topic!

I've only gotten to 105, and then it really started to slow, but anyway, just wondering if you have MS, don't u have full control meaning you can choose when your rev, and speed limiters are?? Or do u actually need to replace the stock ecu and then get a standalone to pretty much have full control???

idk but my limiter definetly goes past 120mph, i can get it to 130 pretty easily before it stops at 135. I still have about 1200 rpm's to go wen i am at 135 in 5th gear.

Where can you buy a performance computer (or whatever it is that you need) to take the top speed govenor off of your car? I top out at about 117-120 but I feel like my car could go faster (you know what I mean?) I hit the top speed really fast and then it's just like it can't go any farther, like there's a wall stopping me from going faster. What do I need to fix this and where can I buy one? Any good websites selling these? Thanks for the help! =]
