Looking for Software Upgrade to Address Crippled US Launch Control

I tried contacting Active Autowerke in Miami today and asked them if they will be releasing or have plans to release a software upgrade for the compromised launch control on the M6 or M5. They said they will NOT be coming out with software for the SMG computer to address this issue.

Do any M6/M5 owners know of any companies out there that may have something "in the works" to bring the revs on our Launch Control systems to 4,000 rpm like the Euro version?

I am ready to pay for the upgrade if there is one out there.

IMO the 4,000 RPM isn't the big deal. Since my M6 has a few miles, the wheels just spin with the 1800 RPM launch. The issue seems to be the CLUTCH RELEASE is too fast. 4,000 rpm might be good if the clutch slipped a little bit but not wih a quick release clutch action.
