how to remove/is there a governor on 99 v-6 camaros?

Answer 1

There is technically no way to "remove" a governor in a computer controlled vehicle, it is built in to the vehicles engine control computer. If you really want to override the vehicles computer that can be done with most if not all power programmers. Try www.superchips.com

Answer 2

Q: What performance "chips/programs" are available?

A: For the 1993 cars, Hypertech, Jet Technologies, Z Industries and Superchips make replacement chips. HP increases vary from 15 up to 30. However, in 1994 and after, chips are soldered into the on-board computer and can't be removed. Hypertech gets around this with their Power Programmer, a hand- held "computer" which plugs into the PCM module under the driver-side dash, and reprograms the stock chip. Performance gains are almost the same as replacing the chip. The programmer costs about $300, considerably more than the $150 - $200 you'd expect to pay for a replacement chip.

The Hypertech Program increases redline and shift points (on auto trannies) by about 500 RPM over stock, and it improves the fuel and timing curves. The cooling fans are forced to coming on at lower temperatures. Any type of speed limiter will be overridden. It can also adjusting the speedometer for changes to aftermarket gears (like a 3.73). However, it doesn't modify the partial throttle shift points on cars with automatic trannies. Thus, even with the programmer, partial throttle shifts will still occur at higher RPMs than with the stock gearing. But most companies can create a custom chip or program to overcome this.

The Programmer can also be sent back to Hypertech to be reprogrammed to take advantage of modifications like headers, camshafts, and superchargers. One other thing to remember is to run 92+ octane fuel with the chip/programmer. Otherwise the engine is probably going to knock due to the timing change.

Answer 3

I get performance questions about the cast iron V-6 3.8 liter engined camaro all the time. The best answer i can tell you is 40 hp worth of modifications will cost you as much as selling your car to your girlfriend and going out to purchase the V-8 car you really wanted. LS-1 Camaro-Firebird are out there and with heavier brakes four disks better suspension on SS and WS-6 versions your money will be well spent on a much better platform for future modifications.
