Removal of speed limiter, anyone?

Other than a full custom map. Don't really need timing work, just removal of 155 mph limiter. Any suggestions? I'm in Southern California.

Where to start? The Italians or the Germans?
Somebody with the developer version of Xentry should be able to remove it. If you're in Socal, it might be easier to have it done by Brabus. They're right near John Wayne airport off of McGaw. 949-229-1770

So I called Brabus. They no longer offer any 'tuning' for our cars. Great guy though, very helpful.
SO.... I called RennTech. They offer an ECU time for about $1500 which does this:

ALSO, I called Speed Tuning. Which for $350 offers this dyno chart as results of their tuning 'chip'.
http://www.speedtuningusa.com/produc...54ps-530nm.htm

Anyone here using Speed Tuning? I looked around, and some supercharged cars have them. Opinions? Couldn't find any W210 E55's. Also, the ST rep wasn't clear if it removed the limiter. He said quote " it should". Hmmmm...
I'm only really concerned with the removal of the top speed limiter. Any other performance upgrades I don't really care about, but it seems I can't have one without the other.
Any other shops out there that I (google) missed?

Can't we do it using Star? I know the W211 guys did their cars like that...
Wouldn't Star work?
