Hey, I have a 2000 Chevy impala, and I cannot get my car going faster than 105. I've heared that the impalas have chips or are goverened that prevent the car from reaching a higher speed.

Could someone tell me how to remove the chip or whatever is nessacery to get my car going faster.

If that step is impossible and there are any other ways I can get some more mph please let me know.

Thanks.

you have found the speed limiter.
once you get up to that speed- the computer senses this- and it commands the fuel pump to stop pumping gas-
youll may feel this sort of power loss and then regain of power-.... thats the fuel cutoff ....
if you put your car in park and try to revv it pretty high- youll see it computer do this again- youll now heard the engine idle up and down as you reach that fuel cut off.... in park its done so you dont blow up your engine.
In drive- its done for safety reasons.... also because your factory tires are most likely not rated to go past x miles.
this helps them also in the lawsuit dept.
But It may be possible to turn off... on other chevy engines a TUNE- can disable this speed limiter. But after that- youre on your own as fas as speed-
