Default Rev Limiter/VSS

Ive been doing some research and im getting mixed signals, Basically i head that if you take out the VSS or the rev limter, you can add a few ponies to the car. Others ive seen ask why in Gods name would you want to mess with thoes!!! I understand the basic princapals on what both do, but if someone could tell me in detail what they do and how to mod them or take them off. That would be great ly appricated
Thanks.!!!

If you remove the vss and its a manual trans, you will lose your speedometer and cruise control.
Not sure about automatics but it will probably be worse off.

y would u gain hp?
honda put the limiter there because if you go beyond that its not safe for the engine
and goin beyond it would be pointless, since the engine is already starting to drop off in power production

well technically if the power it's producing after the drop is more than the power it's producing at the rpm you'd be shifting to you'd be better off going further, but then again you are right about hurting the engine


though you may see gains in some cars it's really not worth it in most becae it puts major wear on internal parts.
