I've been looking around on here and my view of a "governor" has completely changed. i thought it was a piece of you car that you removed from the engine or something to keep it from going past a certain speed. but now it looks like its part of a computer. so how does it work and is there a way to remove it without going out and buying a tool or computer piece?

The speed governor is part of your ECMs embedded program. When it senses that the vehicle speed is close to the rating of the stock tires, it shuts down the injector pulses and ignition then will return it when the vehicle is at a safe speed again. You can buy a certain vehicle at it's base model with the base tires on it and it would cut off at 110mph. But by that same vehicle with an upgraded package that includes tires with a higher speed rating and they will move it up to say 140. Most aftermarket programs for ECMs eliminate it all together. But car manufacturers do it so you don'r exceed the speed ratings of the tires that they put on from the factory.

Actually, not every car has a governor. There are plenty of cars that will rev way past red-line and the only rev limiter is the guy with his foot on the gas. As for police cruisers, it probably just depends on the specific car and how new or old it is. I know my cousin's old LT1 Chevy Caprice was REALLY powerful for a huge car. If it was governed, you would never know it.

Every car DOES NOT have a governor. Modern engine have REV LIMTERS, to prevent damage. Governors are used to limit SPEED. Cop cars DO NOT have governors, but the engines do have REV LIMITERS for the same reason. Your use of tenses needs a little sharpening.

You can add one to your car to keep you from going a certain speed. A friend of mine threatened to put one on my car if/when I get another speeding ticket. But I don't exactly know where they go or how they work exactly.

It is part of the computer program, and it can be changed, but that's beyond me.

It's part of the programming.
