Proper rpm and governor?!

[DistortedCloud]

What is the proper idle speed for a 1992 xlt, and when does the governor kick it? I got it up to 155km/h(96mph) on the highway and wouldnt shut down, and it was still going. Anyone know when it kicks in?

It think the govener is at 108.5 or 106.5 and a rev limiter at 5800

thanks, was just curious on where it kicks in. Now I just need a supercharger kit for it.

plugs, wires intake exaust may get you there if not a chip those put togetther can be less then a super charger

yeah, i want to add a supercharger in the fall perhaps. be a good sleeper and beat the ricers. and a little more zoom zoom around town

Before the super charger do a K&N intake or a MAC intake then do a cat back exaust then a chip along with plugs wires that will give you a good 25 hp. Then do the super charger

2nd gens governor may be 105 or 106 mph around there, but you have a 1st gen, so keep in mind that on many 1st gen's it's lower, and some are apparently higher.

California Emissions 1st gens are speed limited to 96 mph. And just because you don't live in California, doesnt mean you don't have a Cali Emissions truck! Others here have claimed they can go 114 mph in their stock-PCM 1st gen, which I have no experience doing (heheh, I would not dare go that fast in a 1st gen).

If you get a chip, the chip programmer can remove the governor entirely. I suggest you have that done. And if you want to run a supercharger, you'll probably want to get have the chip and the MAF calibrated for that flow, and also the injectors.

Bolt-on mods done right will get you to 180-190 hp on the engine with the OHV. You can get it well over 200 with the supercharger, and head work, and of course chip/MAF etc to match. Then it would be pretty stout--for an OHV.

thanks guys for the help, gives me a good idea to get some more power out of the truck. thanks again.
