Default 93 z28 has speed limiter

as said in the thread my Z has a speed limiter set at 107 , everyone says if i get a chip it would take it off, so i'm asking will it? is there anything i can buy that would other than a tune, i don't want to tune it just yet i just want the limiter off... any suggestions?

Speed limiters are based on tire options not engine or model, your car didn't get Z rated tires from the factory. Chances are, I bet your car also had 2.73 gears.

You beat me to it. If the car has Z rated tires you probably didn't have the speed limiter that low. Without it I think they were limited to something like 110 (or 107 in your case lol). Correct me if I am wrong.

Cars that did not come with the z rated tires had a speed limiter on them around 107 mph. In addition to this the speedometer only went up to 110 mph. The cars that came with z rated tires did NOT have a speed limiter and they also came with a 150 mph speedometer. You can get rid of this in your tune.

not all of them with the limiter had 110mph speedometers. i would wait until you do some bolt ons and actually need to go above 107 (in the 1/4) before spending money on removing it. then you can get it tuned for the bolt ons and remove it in the same shot.
