You want to go a lot faster, how about some n2o? Turbo would probably be a little less stressful on it though. As for the governor, do performance pcms raise or eliminate it? Because I've hit mine before and its not cool when it cuts off the fun.

Yes. performance PCM's move the power band up meaning the limiter goes up too. Most performance PCM's have a rev limit of 7200-7800. But, if you are planning on going nitros or turbo. It's not a good idea to get a performance computer.

There is also no way to remove the governor.

The govener is removed by buying a performance PCM. The rev limiter can't and souldn't be removed, there is no gain by doing it and can only damage the motor.

I wouldn't want to get rid of the rev limiter. I would want to get rid of the governor which you're telling me a performance computer does not do?

No you can not remove the governor. That is determined by the transmission and is part of the transmission. It is however computer controlled. You also can not get rid of the limiter. When you get a performance computer it moves your limiter and governor up.

This is taken off of howell automotive website for the AFX performance PCM.

[quote][/quoteStreet/strip computer specifications:- 7500 rpm fuel-shutoff (redline)- All-new spark and fuel (completely different from race units) - improveseven part throttle output!- Automatic speed control may be set up to 120 mph (if so equipped)- Turns off A/C at wide-open-throttle, like stock- No mph cutout whatsoever - top end is unnnnn-limited!- Slightly de-sensitized detonation sensor for use with noisier valvetrain(i.e., "hotter" cams)- Best results obtained with mild mods, such as: cat-back exhaust, cold-airintake, degreed-in stock or Crane #10 cam grind, etc. But no modificationsare required to obtain significant performance gain. You'll feel thedifference!- Typical flywheel HP increase 9 - 23 HP (depending on other mods, beyondthis you need the race-only unit)- Fuel economy may be BETTER than stock.- Requires 92 octane fuel (at altitudes up to 4,000 ft.) or octane booster- For model-year 2000 units: If you Neon is equipped with the securitymodule, you MUST supply the vehicle's complete, correct VIN with the order,we will flash this into the computer. If you're not sure - give us the VIN!Otherwise: NO START!Race computer specifications:- 8100 rpm redline (maximum possible!)- Totally new spark and fuel maps- Automatic speed control may be set up to 120 mph (if so equipped)- No mph cutout whatsoever- Able to use aftermarket coil and/or ignition system and not turn checkengine light on. Great for drag-race type "staging" systems.- Does not go excessively rich at top-end to "save" the catalytic converter,resulting in vastly improved maximum vehicle speed.- Significantly de-sensitized detonation sensor for use with noisy valvegear, header, etc.- calibrated for use with header and no catalytic converter. Does not readthe downstream O2 sensor, which may be disconnected w/o turning on checkengine light. May melt down a catalytic converter if used!- Best results obtained with uprated cam (Crane #16 or more), head work,larger throttle body, ported intake, etc.- Ability to use aftermarket coil and/or ignition system and not turn checkengine light on. (Year 2000 computers only).- Typical flywheel HP increase 15 - 44 HP (depending on other mods)- Warning: at the RPM this unit is capable of, you should have 2001-uprocker arms / lash adjusters (DOHC), and stiffer-than-stock valve springs toprevent valve float and resultant damage!- Requires 93 octane fuel (at altitudes up to 4,000 ft.) or octane booster.More octane required with compression increase.- Very wide ability to adapt to modifications as you make them.]

To me that means that there is no govener a.k.a "no mph cut out" and I can set my cruise control to 120mph.

Excellent casper! That is what I like to see, I want the rev limiter because I can hit the rev limiter pretty easy, especially in first. But I hit the governor in 4th gear and I wasn't even at redline, which means its not because my car wouldn't rev any more or the transmission was holding it back it was electronically limited.
