Re: WJ Speed Limiter
if you can get the arabs export flash for the pcm the cutout is omitted but keep
in mind us dealer techs like to keep a eye on this stuff with our drbscantools
because customer pay enginejobs pay more than warranty hehehe

Well, it is getting close to the point where it is no longer under warranty,
so that aspect of it is not that big of a deal anymore...
Are you saying that there is some sort of flash ROM / EPROM / EEPROM / flash
memory that is for the Saudi Arabia type markets and plugs into the computer
that does not have the speed limiting 'feature' enabled? Where would one go
about finding this device? What should be the physical top end on this
engine?

I'd have to see a streetable 'cuda hit 150 in third with any
commonly available rear ratio and no jato bottles or cliffs
involved.

Re: WJ Speed Limiter
The tire speed rating is the last letter in the tire's size, no
letter is less than 87 Mile per hour:

Re: WJ Speed Limiter
yep there is a reflash for the pcm and a tech at a dealer might do it under the
table

Re: WJ Speed Limiter
Yeah yeah yeah, I had a '66 Impala 427 bored out to 466 with
LS6 cams and 3.07 rear end. It would easily top 180 as long
as I never actually had to PROVE IT WITH A TIMING SLIP. Or
try it in 3rd gear [which isn't quite the same in a stick as
in a 3speed auto].
