No, because there are two limiters - ignition and fuel.

The fuel ecu has to be modified.

And 7000rpm is pointless on the vast majority of RST engines, as there is no power there.

In the far corner of the fuel ecu are two identical parallel coupled red capacitors. The sum value of these define the fuel pump cut-off limit.

Oh, and that's valid only for the S2. In a S1 it's the fuel relay that does the same job.
