T-bird wont go over 105mph

[MadGoat]

I just got a 94 t-bird lx, and I drove it home from my dad's house in Cali back down to Arizona. Well on the way I figured I would see how fast it would go, I floored the sucker and flew down the highway... seemed nice until it hit 105. It kicks out at 105 and wont go faster, I feels like it has a speed govern on it.. (which I know for a fact that It doesnt)...

It loses power and goes down to 100 were I then have power again. Though I know the revs on the engine dont go up, I figured if the tranny was slipping it would allow the engine to rev high, though it doesnt do that. Im very confused.


Any Ideas?

Thanks

The top speed is controlled by the EEC.
Because of driveshaft failure potential above 110 mph, the max speed tops out around 105-107mph.

You can buy an aftermarket chip to overcome the speed restriction, but if you do, you need to look at a stronger driveshaft, and speed rated tires. Otherwise, you are asking for trouble.

Hint: The gas tank surrounds the driveshaft.
