No, and you shouldn't be driving over 100 unless you're at the track.

I don't believe Jet removes the rev limiter (speed governor), they simply remap the fuel curves and allow it to run a little stronger (a mod. which I believe also necessitates the use of Premium gas in our Civics).

No and no. Jetchip doesn't do it, and the HKS thing doesn't work on our cars, either.

The only problem is this idiot isn't going to kill himself, he's going to kill whoever he plows into at 100mph+.
