Keeping it simple
On a limited budget, one sometimes has to stick to the simple things that work.
What I've done to my 1999 Crown Vic, is install a throttle limiter at the throttle body where the linkage operates. It consists of a long travel ball detent set screw, adjusted so the throttle can open far enough to overcome the moment of inertia at 65 mph.
The driving experience I suppose is like driving a restrictor plate race car. You won't win any drag races, but it will go faster than most speed limits.
No other modifications made to the rest of the car.
Don't know what the fuel mileage for the car before the installation, but now average 24 in town and 28.5 highway. Never checked before the price of gas went crazy.
Part cost? Really cheap.
