    Question with the switch. If you have a switch that lichts up, like a rocker, if you hook it up properly will the light turn on when the limiter is disabled? Or doesn't the wire send a signal until you hit 106 mph?

    The wire is always sending a signal to the PCM, its just that the MTX PCM doesnt really use it. The VSS signal goes directly to the cluster.
    I suppose you could use the VSS for powering the light and ground the other end.

    What would be estimated top speed for a 2000 atx with the limiter removed? I finally hit mine the other day....felt like I could have went faster easily, wasn't even redline on the tach.

    that mod was for mtx. can it be used on atm? an to the guys that drive slow, the reason everyone uses mods is to make there car faster. if you dont race dont worry about it. just get a body kit, your doors done, an make your car look pretty. cause you want to do is look cute anyways.

    Not necessarily, suspension mods don't do anything to make the car go faster (except for being able to take corners faster in some cases). Some of us are modding to get better fuel economy.

    IMO the governor is there for a reason, so the driver doesn't kill himself. I like being alive and I know if I cut mine I would definitely take it over 105, so you see my dilemma =/

    Edit: ok ok so I thought about it. Better to lived and learned then to not lived at all right? So I wired up a switch and tried it. Hit 110, that was good enough. Figured I wouldn't push it till I got tires that can handle more than 115.

    No it's not. Are you ATX? What wire did you cut?
