You car could go faster, but the governor won't let you, so slow down speed racer. :lol:

Yup, If you get a Apex Rev. Limiter, you can go faster.

How much do those apex rev things coast?

by **happy_aggies** » Fri Feb 14, 2003 3:43 pm

Around $250.

Unless you are supercharged i doubt you'll really get over 138-140 if you add the rev limiter. Also I don't know of anyone who has succesfully bypassed the govenor with this or has even tried. I don't think it will remove the govenor, I just thinks it raises your redline above 6150 RPM

Once again, your info/theory is wrong. You can go past 135 with an APEX'i RSM in N/A form. Glok (Kevin) a Camryman regular got his 5spd 1MZ-FE V6 N/A at the time past the 140 mark on the needle. If I recall, he had it at 150 or a little over (according to the digital readout on the RSM).

solaraguy777 has an auto. When i hit 125 on my auto while being N/A i was at around 5000rpm. I can't imagine it going much further till redline. Yes i'm sure the 5spd will go higher because as you always like to comment stick is so much better.

It's all about gearing.

But my point still stands that on a N/A AUTO like solaraguy777 has, removing the govenor won't do much for him. If he had a stick then it'd be different.

It sure was fun on Sunday watching the needle fly by 140mph and keep on going. F*ck Governers!

How high did you go? I remember you posting something awhile back about bypassing the governor. What did you use?

By the way, I'll be very interested to see what kind of numbers you get once you add Jim's heads to your set-up. Keep us posted on all the boards.

I don't know how fast since the speedo ends at 140 but probably 145. I am using a Split Second Frequency Clamp to bypass the governer. I did the beta testing for SS and I can say it works.
