M20B25 rev limit set at 6700rpm (i think, could be 6600)

To remove the factory rev limit, the ECU must be reprogrammed.

Well my 323 has it at 6500rpm and I think the 325 is the same but I can't be certain. I think a chip or piggyback/standalone ECU is the only easy way around it but I am not sure.

change rotor arm, some early 325's had no limter. but not a good idea. engine looses power above 6800 unles you have a mental cam but you may end up throwing a rod!!!
