Not to be a jerk, but why would you want to in an 02 2.5?

When high speed driving you have to address not only the saftey of where you drive, but:BrakesTire PerformanceAlignmentSuspensionAerodynamics

The 2.5 Altima does strike me as being safe enough to go past 125mph.

You can't "take off" the governor. It is programmed into the ECU. You can buy a piggyback ECU (Greddy Emanage ultimate) and program around it. What's it govern you at 125mph?

the 101 is fun at night. i have a lot of friends that are cops in my area and i get away with quite a bit. i just like to go fast and there are more ways of doing it. i really don't need to mess with it anymore because i ordered the stillen qr-pro which resets everything... so i should be good with that.

get the stillen qr-pro. it resets everything and you get a higher speed and all-in-all, more power. i just put one in not oo long ago and it is just awesome!
