It appears from Matt's Order Form that this is also a Wester's tune (same as HVRod's), so I'm sure you can ask for the same settings (remove neutral limiter, etc.).

Hope it helps,
Me thinks Snoopy asked "from those in the know"....

The "redline"..... well folks if you want to know that, look at your tach. At 6,500 RPMs there is a red line!! That's it!!

While not sure about the 2.2L, the 2.4 has a rev limiter set at 6,750 RPMs. It is controlled by the ECM by fuel shut off. Run it up and you'll hit a "wall". Mine is currently set at 7,100.... it "overlaps" and no serious damage has occurred.

Let me just say...

HOLY COW!!!!

Just had the tune done on Saturday, and MAN what a difference. There is no wait when you step on the gas, this thing has become a little rocket. Acceleration in traffic is unreal, I can't say how "worth it" this is!!

I am anxious to see how the bigger injectors work. I heard from one person that it would not help, since the stock injectors have enough capacity. And from what I understand, the tune actually leans out the car from running too rich. But I am open to any possibilities for making the car faster.
