[V8] ECU, IA chip, and Speed Limiter

[32vquattro]

I was going to just ground out the fuel pump relay(ecu kills the ground 
suply) , But Keith advised against it.. Advised to cut the speed signal to 
the ecu instead (same mod as urs-car) I dont have a pin-out for the 4.2 ecu. 
Just been waiting  4 someone to figure it out. Today seems like a good day 
:) Al
