The governor is a device on the engine that controls the maximum rpm the engine will run at. You do NOT want to remove it. Unless you want interal engine parts flying thru the hood. :(
You have two ways to increase top speed.
1. get a transmission with overdrive gears.
2. Change the rear axle ratio to a numerically lower value. (By 20%)
Two find out your ratio, you can crawl underneath and look for a metal tag attached to the pumpkin someplace. It should have numbers stamped on it. Some will look like a ratio 4.11:1 or such.
Otherwise, jack up the truck and count revolutions of the drive shaft until a rear wheel makes one full revolution.
