What's wrong with this behavior? Do you want it to go past 6k? Stock ECU probaly won't let you do that.

Yes, you can disconnect the battery for a few minutes (I think 10-15 min would do). Make sure you have the radio unlock code handy, though, for you'd then have to punch it in once the power has been restored.

There is a less invasive way by yanking out certain fuse, but I don't remember which one.

Cheers,
