The lower limit can be used for either a launch limit, or an engine power limiter while driving, depends on how you wire it to whatever switch you like.
The engine won't pull past the limit, since it will continue to misfire randomly at the cut rpm.
The randomly misfiring starts before the chosen rpm by dropping one or two, then however many it needs to keep the rpm stable.

Wide open throttle on the dragstrip while the cut is occurring, then only needs the clutch or brake pedal released timed correctly.
Once you get to know how hard your car can launch, then reaction and 60ft times improve.

Of course for a street car, there are limits as to how high you would set the low rpm limiter.
