I can see it now. While driving along peacefully at 65mph, obeying the speed limit, your 14 year old script-kiddie son sitting next to you remaps the fuel injector to inject the fuel at full capacity regardless of throttle position. Since he was running Windows, his computer crashes shortly afterwards and you find yourself cruising down the highway at 200mph.
Actually this won't happen, if you add lots of fuel without adding lots of air, all you get is smoke and not very much power. After a while, you also get a worn out engine.
What you should watch out for is when you have quite a lot of power and not enough fuel, then you get a melted piston or valve.
