Default Big block with rear end governor?

Anyone running a big block and still hooked up to the rear end governor? If so, what RPMs can you turn?

My Ezgo workhorse still has the rearend governor hooked up to a CPP 18 hp BB kit and it will turn 5500 rpms or so.

thanks for the reply Big Mule. Is your governor adjusted all the way out?

Thanks. I am just trying to decide if I want to run the rear end governor or not.

The governor was holding me back. I removed the cables from the gov and fastened them together--works much better for me...

Thanks Dave. Seems like most people with a v twin will disable the rear end governor. What RPMs do you turn on your 23?

LOL I just finished my conversion and I loosened the governor and sprayed wd 40 so that in moves freely back and forth, but I have a tach to watch RPMs and I had CPP put in the advance and rev kit
