It just stops your engine from revving beyond a certain point, like say 6000 RPM. It will save your engine from hurting itself if something bad happens, or if you have some sort of mind-fart and try and rev it dangerously high. Mine is adjustable. I can dial it down to a lower number and the engine won't rev past that point. I like to joke that I can turn it down and then the valet can't get in to trouble (although I have never actually done that).
