Why don't you post an email to MM about the speed limiter. Since I never had one I can not tell you any more than that. Now I can tell you that the shift limiter can be raised but not removed (yet). My shift limiters were just like everyone elses even with the X, when I had the AP installed Jeff raised my shift limiters to the maximum.

well i talked to alot of the hks dealers. they say for sure it works. Some kind of way it taps into the transmission control module. thats what they told me and they seem 100% sure.
