Question How do you Eliminate Governor?

I need some help. My z28 has a spped limiter of 115mph. I can top out in fourth and thats as far as I can go. Is there any way to take off the limiter without paying $300 for the hypertech. any help would be greatly appriciated.

perhaps if you know of a place that has a unlocked version of ls1edit (not tied to any vin's), and you can sweet talk them in to go in real quick and remove the governer.

theres got to be someone around you that has a hypertech and just give them a little dough so you don't have to pay for one just for getting rid of your govenor.

you can only use a hypertech on one car at a time just for that reason

Get a hypertech of your own, don't borrow one. and for the love of God, DO NOT unplug it until its done. I messed my friends up.
