Default IS500 speed limiter removal

I just bought an IS500 and it’s coming later this week and I was wondering if anyone had any success with removing the speed governed set on the car. It seems to be limited around 149-155 but lexus says the car can hit close to 170. Is there any way I can remove this limiter? All hypotheticals of course . Thanks

I believe Loi had a preorder going for the software or something like that to make the IS500 tuneable. Not sure I just recalled seeing it on his instagram stories awhile back
