Default speed shutoff

I am detailing cars this summer and next, saving up for my Mom's 2000 Monte Carlo SS. I am just researching a little, planning what I am going to change in it when it is mine. Anyway, I have heard there is something in my comp that will keep me from going over 120 mph. Is there anyway to fix that by myself?

You'd have to get a chip for it, or get your existing ECU reprogrammed, if im not mistaking. I know HyperTech makes a programmer for the SS but I don't know if it will let you do away w/the speed limiter.

yes the hypertech computer will get rid of the spped limitor, also will readjust your speedo if you have over sized tires on it
alsoit will change your shift points and line presure to make the car shift better and run better
I Love mine!!

now the cheapest icould find when ooking for ine was threw Summit Raceing.com

Yes, buy a re-programmed ECU. check out
www.pfyc.com or
www.zzperformance.com
they sell one for like, $215, the speed limiter is removed. and I think its actually 125 we are governed to, but anyway, that will solve that problem right there.
Now i have a question for you. When where and why are you going to be going faster than 125?

All we need is another irresponsible driver trying to max out his Monte on the freeway
