I was reading someone's post...
A post I was reading mentioned that the top speed of an Elantra wasn't governed, but instead, topped out because of drag. I have had my Accent up to 185 KPH, it stayed at that speed for a minute, never decreased or increased as long as I held down the throttle. So I was under the impression that my car was governed at that speed, am I mistaken? I attempted this when everything was stock. Perhaps after my modified intake and a new muffler and resonator removal, I can get a higher speed? I don't know.
Another thing some one mentioned was interchanging an ECU from a Tib into an Elantra. Would there be an ECU that I could install from any of these cars that will give my Accent a performance upgrade, or is it just not compatible?

If your car is limited by the govener which i think mine is to 
Then even with the mods you wont be able to break that line, you'll just be able to get there faster.
I know there are piggyback chips you can get. An I also know HDK will reprogram your current ECU for better performance gains.
