Anyone want to shed light on how to disengage the governor?

I read there is one, and I also read someone has disengaged it.

Anyone want to give their story?

Yes, it's true. They did it in California (sorry, I couldn't resist).

OK, from one Cali brother to another...what's the trick (c'mon...just between you, me and the rest of the dorknoids)?

haha. You missed the humor...

No one has disabled their governor quite yet. Only person who has had a chance to test the true top speed of the vehicle is in Mexico and I believe it topped out around 140-145.

A better question is how to disconnect the data recorder.

I have seen143 mph. Car was still pulling but I ran out of road (picked a straight country road through cornfields, with no access, to do the run).

Please don't ask how I disengaged the governor. The only thing I can tell you is that it is a Canadian car. My last 2 (a 300M and a 300M Special) had no governors on them either. They all came that way stock.

I would love to hear from a service tech as to what configurable options are available via a StarScan. Removing the governor could be as easy as getting friendly with your local Chrysler service guy.

Did anyone ever confirm that turning the key like you were going to start it after it is running disengages the govenor. I did confirm the starter does not engage but someone who dyno'd cars said they had to do this on the trucks and maybe it worked for us.

My starter doesn't engage when running either. I hit it by mistake (since the Hemi is so darn quiet!) and then wondered "where's the idiot wakeup call?" So, for whomever has the opportunity, do you have to do this at a standstill or is it like that old "turbo boost?"

The only way to do this is with aftermarket programming that isn't available for these cars yet (I want to get rid of my speed limiter too). There is no other sequence of events that can be done to eliminate this.

Hello. I have a 300c bought in mexico but it was built in the same ontario plant. i have taken it up to 156 mph / 250 kmh and seems to be about it. the speedo reads up to 260 kmh but have not been able to acheive.

 

[catchMEifUcan]

Viva la Mexico!

156 MPH! Nice...

 

[cmego]

But how did it FEEL at 156?

 

[300cMexico]

It doesnt feel like you want to continue at that speed for a prolonged period. i think about 130 is ok but after you have to watch out. well i guess not so much because of the car but because of the rest of the people on the highway.

 

[Redman]

GENIUS!
Why can't we establish speed limits that way here in the States?

did you notice any "floating" sensation at the higher speeds? or was it stable when trying to turn?

 

[Combat Hemi]

I Don't think you're turning anywhere but over @ 156mph!!

 

[Paisan]

Hopefully it will be stable up at those speeds. I've had my '92 SVX up to 145 and it was quite stable.

OK, LOTHP and joey, it IS a family-oriented forum; your recent posts here are out of order and have been deleted. Let's keep it clean, please.
