I am aware of the rev-limiter on the Blazers.
Is there a maximum vehicle speed governor on the vehicle also?

Only on the Nascar version...220mph. You've never seen that model?

I believe so. My 2001 and my Dad's 99 GMC Sierra maxes out at 97MPH before the vehicles slow back down.

I'm guessing that's sarcasm?

On my first gen I don't think there was one, it just revved until it couldn't go any faster. According to my buddy, we were doing 101 MPH. If I had any better gearing (3.08 I believe, with oversized tires) I imagine I could have gone faster.

My 96 stops at 97-98ish. It could go more but it is governed.

Any model with a pcm are speed governed by its programming settings.

Ok, Thanks.

97 or so is what I saw. Just wanted to confirm my suspicions.

Hi. I live in Trinidad. I have a 1995 blazer 4x4 4.3l . I also have an Eaton Supercharger, intake manifold for a 97 with harness, computer, etc. The S/C is 100hp more but if i can't increase the speed limit, what's the point. Is there / What programmer to use? Please advise me someone.

My 2000 ZR2 tops out at 97.4 mph my 2002 LS tops out at 110.4 mph I thought that was because it was a regular LS and my 2000 was a ZR2. I found it is a fluke because all the other 02's lose it at about 97 I just lol and pull away

You can get your limiter removed by having your pcm tuned. I just sent mine to blackbear performance. All the full size gm guys swear by blackbear. He can remove torque managment aswell as remove speed limiter, firmer shifts, improve shift points,etc. I can't wait to get my new pcm!
