Greetings:

Other than riding my brother's 2003 Met, I know almost nothing about Mets first-hand. However everything I've read leads me to believe the under-carb restrictor is found only on the Moped-legal Metro II. Yes there is a hard speed-limiter Party-Pooper wired in somehow that is not RPM-dependent but signal is from groundspeed. Until that is defeated, making it more powerful may improve acceleration but it just won't go any faster.

TotalRuckus.com has a section devoted to Metropolitan afficionados. Surely their Collective can tell you more.
