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! =]

as far as gearing goes if you got the hp the acr makes about 130 the rt about 150 and the sxt 183
The ACR and R/T have the same gear ratios...

Woooooooooooooo.... HOLD on HERE.

Now is that actually true, I need to hear it from someone else. Could an sxt manual in 5th wrapped out at 7,500rpms actually be gearing wise about 180mph!!!!!!
If that's true I need to build up an sxt motor and trans rather than an r/t but I dont know if I would ever need that much speed and I would guess an r/t gearing would be better for 1/4 times. I think I need to hear other people's thoughts on this.
