I also have a skunk2 chipped p28 my redline is 9k...... If it was chipped the resistor should have been removed, so you should be able to rev higher. Are you sure they removed that governor?

when u're throwing certain codes the ecu is put into "limp mode", this mode is basically a safe mode, so all the parameters are changed, such as fuel and timing, to be less agressive and safer for the engine. the ecu does this because when there's a cel it thinks something is wrong w/ the motor so it takes these precautions to try and save the motor from any damage. thats most likely why u can't rev as high also.

goodluck
