Default making ecu go into limp mode

Im rebuilding my head and so i have to break everything back in, I have a suspended license so my dad will be driving the car, is there any way that I can make the ecu go into limp mode so he never hits vtec but can still accelerate decently by going up to 6500?

idle the engine at 3000 for 10-20 mins. Thats all the "break in" that valvesprings need.
