Currently, there is no chip that eliminates either the rev limiter or
the speed limiter. As I understand it, the Jet chip is simply a "module"
that alters the outputs of the stock computer (PCM). The PCM still
knows the RPM and speed, and its limiters will kick in; there's nothing
the Jet can do. One possibility (if someone got desperate) would
be to build a circuit with a custom burned chip that could feed the
PCM a false RPM and/or speed signal. I wouldn't recommend it though;
(not without a lot of research anyway). There are other things
that use those inputs besides the limiters.
The best route is probably to just wait until MP releases a performance
PCM. I think the big delay with the '96s was because of OBD-II. I
think the '98s still use OBD-II, so the delay will probably be less than
the couple of years I had to wait. :-)
You might want to call Mopar Performance and just see what the status
of the PCM is.
