Removing the governors would have sure helped a great deal in getting more power. The governor on any engine simply keeps its RPM at a safer level so the engine itself does not over heat or destroy itself.
I could certainly see how removing the governors and adding the battery could increase to those speeds.
There is safe operating procedures then there are "I'M GIVING YOU ALL SHE'S GOT CAPTAIN"
When you have a high pucker factor ... you find the impossible very possible.
