A friend of mine works a my local GM dealer .
Now I heard a rumour that there is a program that can be downloaded froma tech 2 the take off the speed limiter on my Cavalier .
My first question is this rumour in fact true ?

I work for Gm and we can do it. I just tuned my buddies grand am 2.4 with no drl's, no rev limiter, and no speed limiter. The speed limiter wouldnt harm it but you better be modified to handle those speeds cause you WILL kill yourself. I now have no cavalier due to being stupid at 105 and had to swerve a little bit not even moving the steering wheel a 1/2 inch and lost control.

i call bluff I used to work for a olds dealer and with the tech 2 you can flash the pcm bcm and so on. But you could not change any thing that you wanted the the touch of a button. The flash was only to fix a issue that the current soft ware has. I've used tech 2 alot and tuning is not function of the scan tool. However one of the teachers at the local community college really is trouble shooting engineers for GM and he can adjust parameters with his lab top on his test cars but not with a tech 2.

well its not exactly tuning but you can turn stuff off and on. erase certain programmed functions and shizzle like that. you can even shut off the drivers air bag if for some reason its needed.

From what I was told you have to get the VCI witch I was told you can do also, but it is a bitch. I'm just going to call them up and ask for the VCI cause I would like to take off the DRL cause of the HID's are on my car and the DRL could maybe harm them.

So, on a 95 2.2, you can'tdo that 97cavie24ls(JDM cav sedan™) ????

I am wondering because i'm getting a new fully built engine, and the valvetrain has been setip to safely go to about 7 K rpm's and it be nice to remove the rev limiter on my computer. Or anyone know of a better way to remove rev limiter and speed limiter.
