And the way it accomplishes this is that what would normally be a 
line to ground on an 8v is a signal wire from the 16v brain box.  If 
you cross the threshold, no more ground, and thus no more fuel.

It may be slightly more complicated than just grounding out that line 
(ie. maybe the brain box expects to see something on that line under 
normal circumstances) to remove the rev limiter.
