Unplug that system and drive one until it drops, if it indeed does....
Are you willing to put up your cash on that? Cuz no person with the right amount of chromosomes will just unplug a safety system like that hope it doesn't destroy their brand new $85,000 car.

There's a reason those safety points are put into the tune. And while they may be a little bit on the safe side, it's not like they are just there for the hell of it. And if the engine parameters get to that point, I would not want the tune to still command full power and continue letting the engine progress further and further into the danger territory.

Also, a supercharger and engine running at high temperatures aren't exactly operating efficiently. So just because you turn off the safety system doesn't mean the car will peform its best. Heatsoak still takes its toll on performance whether or not the limp mode feature is on. So testing the cars while heatsoaked won't exactly get you great test scores. Even more reason not to risk the car for little to no improvement in performance.
