maybe raise your rev limiter but what is the point in taking it off completely??? Let's say your peddle gets stuck under the floor matt...(twice)....and your shit just flies up to 13000 rpm and starts shooting holes in your block...plus a car stops making power after a certain rpm depending on setup...

Don't remove it, just raise it. These guys know what they are talking about, you don't want a blown motor.
