Beatdown?  This sounds like a good story...

That's pretty damn impressive, jay!!  14.74 has got to be the fastest I've
seen yet from a 16v without a blower on it.

K, well call me a guinea pig then.  I did it last night and drove around a
bunch today.  Long story short - I still have a rev limiter.  I think it
might be a couple hundred rpm higher than it was before, and the limiter is
now more like an ONoffONoffONoffONoff switch than a straight-up OFF switch,
but it's still there.  F*CK!!!!!!

Now what?  All you CIS-E Experten out there, please help me out... I want
7500rpm without having to convert to Motronic or some other aftermarket
setup..
