I have an 86 Trans am. 5.0L TBI, Auto Trans. Does anyone know what that car is governed at? I couldnt get past 100 when i tried. I dont know if its because it's governed at that, or if its because i didnt have the balls to go faster in trooper territory. :roll:

I had an 88 tbi sc camaro and the car really never liked to go past 100 but it got past it a couple times :twisted:

my tbi firebird would hit 115 with lots more to spare but would stop me there...stock tune limits the speed at 115

Not true. All cars post-some year were governed if the tires weren't Z-rated from the factory I believe. Many TPI's are governed, every one that I know of depending on gearing should be able to hit 140-145, so if its hitting less its governed wherever you stop at. Hope that helps.
