Default ECU wont let me go past 120 MPH, anyway to tweek ECU?

so this one night i was speeding like a ****. i was up 118mph and inching towards 120 mark. this is in a stock 2000 civic LX. so jus before i hit 120 the reatarded ECU cuts my igniton off for a sec slowing me down.
darn thing has a speed governer, anyone know how i can remove this crap? maybe like a piggy back ECU or something.

sure you can get a chipped ecu.. but the hell would you even want to speed that fast again.. u know if you cop catches you going that fast its automatic jail time, dont pass go, dont collect your money and then pay all kinds of fines after your done w/ it all and then you lose your liscense for bit also..

a chipped ecu is the only way around it

dont be stupid tho. 120mph on the street/freeway is retarded.
