Rev limiter options

The rotor works with older cars where the revlimiter was built into the
rotor.  Mike, on your car, the revlimiter is controlled by the fuel pump
relay, it takes an rpm signal, and at the right point, shuts off fuel.  You
could try snipping this signal wire, but that may affect other operations,
especially fuel shut off in the even of an accident, etc.  Never really tried
it, of course, if you were willing to risk it, you could just rewire the fuel
pump with your own relay and bypass that end all together, but then you
wouldn't have a revlimiter at all.  There may be a way to modify the signal
to read 10% low, that would probably do the trick, not sure exactly how it
could be done though.

Of course, if you have EFI, a nice soft touch rev limiter is an option, as
opposed to the on-off CIS revlimit.
