I see where your thought process is going. But a stock V6 can't handle as many revs as an L4 can. You can get rid of it with a Hondata but your risking your engine unless your going to do some serious modification.

my question exactly, the engine has a rev limiter for a reason. unless you have done some upgrading you should leave the limiter alone.

in reality the ECU redline is below what the engine can handle. That is why Honda's engines last a long time. They tune them cosevatively, over build them and, and set the redline below what it can actually handle. Now only if they did that with the automaics, we would be all set...........
