they musta added the governor in 96 (ODB II?) or so when they changed them a bit, my 94 topped out at around 150 with the 4L60E.

im trying to like the new ones, but the curb weight is making it very hard. nice looking though. now if only i could get my hands on an engine/tranny/computer setup for my '52 chevy

At least in 97 and in 00 it depended on what tires came with the car. My 97 V6 had H rated tires if I remember right. In 2000 it was possible to get a Z28 with the similar tires and have a 118 limiter. Otherwise they were limited to around 160. Of course my Z28 has no limiter since I had the software and cables to change the computer

The curb weight is huge, so far that is the only thing I really wish they could have changed. Drop a couple hundred to 500 pounds and they would do so much better.

I'm going to put some miles on the car but hopefully in August take it out to Bandimere for test & tune. I'm thinking mid to high 15's based off of sea level numbers.

[QUOTE][The things we do when we are young. My first Camaro was a 97 and had a governor at 118, well one day I found that you can set the cruise control to just a hair below 118 Between my 97 Camaro and 00 Z28 I'm amazed I made it out of my 20's./QUOTE]

I was thinking the same thing until I looked at his "Location" on his posts.
