It stops at 108... Yes, it has a governor... Why would a V8 4.6l engine not be able to go over 108...

You don't actually remove it, its programmed into your computer. Its there so you don't blow your engine. You'll need a programmer to disable it, or take it to a tuning shop.

Yours cuts out at 108. I have a 1994 merc cougar with a 4.6L SOHC V8, and it cuts out at 97 mph. Do you think that's fair? To answer your ?, The governer can not be removed in any vehicle. You have to Buy a programmer and then change the settings. CAUTION. If you decide to go the distance, make sure you keep some kind of rev limiter on so that you don't destroy your tranny. I think the engine could take one hell of a beating though, so I wouldn't worry about that. The cost of these programmers aren't cheap. Around $400-$800. The product names are Hypertech, Hyperpac, Superchip etc...

I think it is built into the computer.. and the bad news is that it records and remembers every time you go over 100 so the dealer will know if you try to claim anything on service .. they can claim you abused it.. I would think one of the new Mustang 4.6-3 valve 300 hp engines could do 140+ without a governor.

it style of feels like a great automobile to get. that is in all probability sturdy because of the fact the police use them. understand that once you're making plans on procuring it new it is the final 3 hundred and sixty 5 days that Mercury would be making the Grand Marquis.

With a Super Chips Supertuner. It's pricey at about $400.00. But, you'll need this device to reprogram the PCM parameter. Don 't bother going to the dealer to attempt to have this done. They do not have that level of access with their diagnostic scan tool.

it is programed by the factory so you cant out run the police.
some after market chips may bypass this or up it some,and you would be suprised by what the computer remembers
