Topped Out Saturday, SCAREY! Options

[A Bearcat's GS-T]

I went with a buddy to Brok..... a place in Oklahoma, last saturday and on the way there I decided to let my GST stretch its legs a little after I pasted a truck poking along at 60. I dropped it in to 4th and we were off to the races! The neddle on the speedometer kept climbing and climbing and climbing until it hit the buck twenty-five mark and my buddy started yelling at me to slow the **** down. So I slowed down. On the way back I just had to see how fast my lightly moded Eclipse could go. I got back to the same stretch of road and let my right foot get to know the floor-board real good. 100, 110, 120, 125, 130 and then right at 135 mph with 1000 rpm left till redline I hit what Im guessing is a govener and the gas stopped flowing and I couldn't go any faster............. What happened? How can I get rid of the govener, if that was what it was? Is that a normal thing to happen?

Thanks,
Matt

(If anyone asks, it never happened. )

Your ECU is the computer that takes information from all of your sensors and then uses that to make your spark plugs fire and your injectors inject and whatnot. The ECU in 96-99 cars had no way to change the program used to do those functions. 95s had that program on an eprom chip. Eprom chips are easy to reburn. DSMlink is nothing more than a computer program that allows you to change that program on the fly in an easy mannor. AEM EMS is a whole new aftermarket computer. I would recommend it only for someone that has done all they can do with their stock ECU because as James said, you can get into the 11s and even the 10s on your stock unit with some piggybacks.
