The governer is integrated. It can be disabled by a power programmer.
I don't reccomend going any faster that 100 MPH in any vehicle unless your tires are rated for it.

If you do not have tires rated for speeds greater than 95mph, then you should not even think about attempting to go faster than that. With that said, there really isn't any way of doing this short of buying a programmer...

yup, I would have to agree. going that fast, not even just tires but the type of vehicle is just crazy. all it takes is one wrong bump and ...oops, tippsy toppsy.

I have hit the 100 mph mark once and that was enough for me. The vehicle just did not feel stable that fast. But then again I am working on setting mine up more for off-roading then speed so that could have something to do with it lol.
