Question
I know that a governer for a car usually to keep a speed of a car governd but my buddy tells me that when he took his out he gained like a 100 hp. Really i think he is just blowing smoke up my ass but u never know with cars now a days so i thought I'd ask.

Answer
Evan-

  Ummm...yeah, he's lying to you (or he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about).  All a governor does is limit your speed...it has no effect whatsoever on horsepower.  He could be talking about having the computer tuned which can show you a decent gain in power, but generally no more than 20hp or so.  Hope this helps.
