Default Rev Limiter - Bad Tune

Is it fairly straightforward to change rev limiter w/ tuning software?

I took my car to one of the board sponsors to have it tuned, and it still hangs up when the clutch is pressed in, and now there is apparently no rev limit b/c my stock cam/heads are spinning to 6600 on my 98 w/ the weak rod bolts.

Hopefully it would be just as cheap and easy for me to buy the software and fix the crap myself than to take another day off work and haul the car back to this guy.

It is a fairly simple thing to change : However, having a 98 - and tuning with many 98's- The factory Gauge is terribly inaccurate , What RPM is the limiter supposed to kick in ?

With tuning software it is a simple setting. You can download the software to look at if if you would like at www.efilive.com and if you have any questions you can call me.
