ORIGINAL: cease4

In my 99 cobra i was only able to hit like 150 it just wouldnt increase at that speed and i still some rpms to go....just a limiter i believe but i dont care i dont drive 150 but wouldnt hurt to havehigher top speed
I believe that 99 cobras have the governer set at 159mph. I have no clue about what the other mustangs are set at though.

My 99 GT was set at 155 but it rolled off the line with 17" z rated tires.

I have a 96 GT auto with 16" wheels. I've never read anything about a governor on the mustangs older than 98. Does mine have one? If so at what speed?

I have a 98 gt 5 speed that shuts of at 125mph. I am not sure if it is a govern or what. I didn't think a gt had a govern on it. I don't think it is a rev limiter. I can tac to about 6k and no problems. I changed my gears to 373's and my speedometer is about 20mph off. So when I hit 125 it cuts the engine out . But at that speed my tac is only around 4k. ANd I know it will let me tac to 6k at lower speeds. DOes anyone know a way to turn off this govern or what ever it is. I dont have the money to get a diablo turner. I have heard you could do it that way. CAN anyone please help!!
posting your **** bigger, bold and annoying wont get you many responses that are helpful

Hmm my 02 stock went 130 with no problems and more to go. I put a Diablo Predator tuner on it and it read my will go 170 now but make sure my tires are speed rated for that high. The stock rev limiter on a 99-04 GT i think is 6035 which is what the Tuner read before you increase it to up to 7000. I think you may have another problem that needs to be looked at. Have a dealer hook there computer up to it and see if there is any major problems.
