yes there is a governor on the vechicle...
and yes going to an aftermarket engine management unit will alow you to bypass the governor.
the reason behind the governor was the H-Rated tires that were used.
unless you have a good set of Z rated rubbers i wouldnt even bother unless you wanna pop a tire at 100Mph i would say it would suck.
anyways ...your canget i a "speed cut defender" at HKS or Greddy. if my memery server right they both offer it.
do a search on the net and you should find some info on it.
good luck and dont try anything stupid on cheap rubbers.

my solution.....stop trying to drive over 100mph. There is no reason you need to even try it unless your at a track...in which case by the end of the 1/4 mile you still wont have reached 100mph anyway
