I believe the reason they raise the max RPMs is due to power fall-off at the topend. If the redline is 5150rpm and your revvs are getting to 4900rpm, the IP speed limiter will start to cut fuel (Not completely, but progressively). Raising the max rpm will allow them to get to 5150rpm with full power. Those 2050rpms can mean quite a few MPH increase in the top end and a faster 0-60.
