Default LIMITER!!!!!???

B.S! ok

I'm running with a stock 2000 3.8 v6 5 speed manual... there is a stock speed limiter on there apparently.. and it pisses me off... i know my car is well capable of going over 120, in 5th I'm going 120 and the rpm is only at 4k rpm... so anyone know how to take of the governor?

You have to get a tune or programmer. You don't need to be going that fast anyways. People get hurt like that.

dispite popular belive removing the limiter will not make your car faster.... it will still take you just as long to get up to that speed and as stan says 90% of races will never get that high so theres really no point......

Check what rating your tires are...
If they aren't Z rated, you should never go above 120, which is where they will blow out.
Have fun.

Blow without redlining?

A bit of an overstatement, but the general idea is that his tires won't be able to handle speeds over 120 if he doesn't have Z rated tires.
