I have done it on the highway, but its still not safe and shouldnt be done. Its dangerous and if your going to go faster then 105mph, it should be at the track. And if your car is going to take 90seconds to make 105mph anyways, ITS POINTLESS. Now my car WILL trap much higher then 105 in the 1/4, thats why im doing this project with the SMT-6. I know it will work, i just gotta get my forged internals in so i can finish putting my motor together.

The response itself does not change... turning 45 degrees will still equate to the same amount of wheel turn. What the sticker means when it says that is the power-assist itself is variable... i.e. it is harder to turn the wheel at higher velocities. The feature you're talking about is something you're going to have to buy an awful lot more car (and probably not american unless you get one of the very few) to get a hold of.

I will be testing the SMT-6's Road Speed governor option which allows you to go past the governor without the car knowing. But you really shouldnt be going faster then 105 on the street. And if your going turbo, your going to need a lot more then just a turbo kit to get higher then 105 trap speeds in the 1/4 mile. If i were you you should we worrying about a lot more things then the governor. Trust me...

My balt is a base model with contis and today i let off of it at about 110mph, so its not governed at 105 like i thought. I must say, it pulled pretty good til then too.
