VSS=Vehicle Speed Sensor

You CAN do this, but there are some problems that go along with it.

The ECU no longer knows how fast you are going, and the ECU always thinks you are idling...so it will NOT try to keeps the revs up...so it often dies when coming to a stop.

Random how are you, long time! Hey I posted the idea of fooling the ECU by feeding a constant voltage once you go over the limiter voltage. It might work! I do not know if it is legal in the US or not. It might be worth it to test and see. If it works you could come up with a simple circuitry in front of the ECU to do it.
