No as far as I'm aware. It is there to protect the engine, So I'd leave it alone. If you want abit of extra power why not fit a stainless exhaust which will make it breath better and add a K&N induction kit or panel filter (Which goes in the original air box) these will make it sound and run better and will add a few extra bhp.

The rev limiter will be coded into the ECU I believe.
It will probably cut the spark rather than the fuel, but it could do either or even both.
As it is a honda lump the honda boys will probably be able to rechip/remap the ecu to alter or remove the rev limiter. I've not looked into it in detail though.
