???

Some in the past have put after market chips into prom readers...only to
find the factory parameters.  Don't recall which brands through.  Others
would reprogram the factory chip.  If they're marked identically you can
only know for sure by reading the hex or comparing driveability.

What speed limiter?  The only speed limiter on the '90 is power and drag.
 I don't think they added one in the '93.  The "wall" on the 3.6L
automatic is about 148 MPH indicated.  Listers have reported the factory
3.6L with a stick will get up to around 162MPH indicated before hitting
the wall.

I live on a one-way street that's also a dead end. I'm not sure how I got
here, or how I'm going to get out.
