Stupid M35A2 "Governor" -- How Could I Have Missed This One?

Hi List...

While I was up near Reno this past weekend, an ex-Army guy pointed out
the bolt under my M35A2's gas pedal and told me to remove it and I
would have more punch up hills and on the flat when needed. He said
he used to do this on M35A2s in Germany because it was a safety issue
to be able to get deuces to go more than 60 MPH on the Autobahn.

I must say, I did remove the bolt "governor" and it does have more
punch! If you do this too, you should still pay attention to the
tachometer and not over-rev!

Duh!
