Ok guys i was searching around the Internet on how to disable your speed limiter. I found the Tuning chips that you plug and and change stuff but i also read this. Has anyone tried this?
Answer
The 1997 and up cavalier or just about all gm cars have whats called an obd2 system. Thats the engine controll computer type and name. This wireing setup sucks. But any way the top speed limiter is built in and its really just a fuel pump shut off. you could just redo your hole fuel system but its just alot easier to take your car to your local chevy dealer ship and pay them to re conform you system and remove the rev limiter and fuel pump shut off system. but just so you know this onlyl adds like 10mph to you over all top speed. If you want to go faster then youll have to do some slight mods like an exhaust and cold air.
..... Do you even know what the hell you're talking about?
a dealership is not going to reprogram your ECU to remove the limiter, governor, fuel system shutoff, anything. it's just not going to happen.

WOW...JUST WOW. A newbie making a post about a newbie subject and trying to provide an answer....and failing miserably.
No dealership will EVER reprogram the ECU how you want them to. That is why we need programs like HPT. Redoing your fuel system would NOT fix the cutoff problem either. The computer shuts off the INJECTORS...not the PUMP.
Go continue to do research and come back when you have accurate information please.

I never said you could take your car to a dealer and they will do that. I read that off of another site that someone else posted. I never heard of someone doing that and i was woundering if any of you have heard something like that.

And, since this is about how to remove the speed limiter, which is not discussed here...
