unless you plan on upgrading your tires, don't go faster than what the governor allows.. it is set at a certain speed based on what your tires can handle.. if you go faster than that, expect a blowout at 110mph...

the buisness with the tech 2 wont work. It doesnt have that ability. the only options you can change are what are called "personality" options, things like how the doors unlock when you hit unlock and things of the sort. and those are only in the BCM.
you wont be able to change anything in the pcm.

I could possibly just have them flash it w/ the 2.2L sport version....same engine specs just better tires which i have now, it apparenlty has no govenor so it should work in theory

yeah ntm it will have the wrong vin number and when the ecu checks it against other parts of the car it could cause problems like your radio wont work your radio will only work with the correct vin number

ok the sports are the 1's with the 140 speedo and 124 limiters
the lower have the 120 speedo , and last i heard were at 108
the nice thing about the switch you wanna put in , will disable the speedo , and also set a code for a VSS issue , and dont you know it the dealer might just see it
take a look at this tread , and click the link , it was what happens when you have no intelegence
http://www.azclubgp.com/viewtopic.php?t=4298
why not set your car up for those speeds , and do the speed limiter the right way ?? or do you care about your life that little ???

Ninja - milage should be stored in the BCM so no worries there.
there's no option on a techII to alter the tune of your engine, that's not what it's for, the car performs the same as it did, sorry dude.
yes there should be an option to switch to the "sport package" and then just make sure you input the right OD for what you have currently on the car and you should be bumped to between 120 and 125, I forget where exactly it cuts off.
you can also swap in a different ecu as stated above, and it should not cause a problem as far as drivability. HOWEVER, when someone goes to pull codes or monitor, it should state on the TechII that the VIN's do not match up, and either request to reflash to the correct VIN or to input the correct one, I forget which one. We did this on an 04 and 05 redline a while back.
I have an extra ecu for this reason, just haven't gotten around to altering/flashing it. that and I want to keep it in case HPtuners finally gets off their ass and get the 2.2 suite out.

so you tached out (as much as you can with the stock restraints) the auto tranny and all it hit was 120? that seems odd, would have thought it be a bit taller than that.
