If your defininition of pulling spark means that the car is still "firing" then you obviously have no idea what pulling spark means and do not have much expierence with tuning or working with the eec. You obviously have never ridden against a limiter before either. The stock limiter does pull both fuel and spark, meaning advanced spark. When you hit the limiter you can put your foot down all day long, but the car will not rev past the limiter. That is why guys use two-steps, so they can keep their foot down and not go past a certain rpm at launch. This is also why on a blown car it is important to set the factory limiter above the limiter on say a 6AL, so you pull spark only and the car will only rev up to the chip in the limiter, and you do not pull fuel.
