Just wondering if a 1990 5.0 LX has a speed governor on it. Thanks.

I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

I do know, that the cruise control does NOT work at 120 though.

LOL.........dont even want to know how you found that out :nono: but i dont think they do. i dont even think they have a rev limiter. i know my 92 lx doesnt. its a good thing it runs so rich right now b/c i missed 3rd the other night and spun it to like 6300 RPM. i didnt even think it would go that far OOPS

nope, a M5 5.0 hatchback is good for 145 or so mph. I can personally attest to A4 cars doing ast least 135 mph myself.

That is before you add a gear.
