No, there is no way. It is not recommended to run your Mac on the AC adaptor with the battery out (Of course, this only applies to removable batteries).
If the battery is removed from a MacBook or MacBook Pro, the computer will automatically reduce the processor speed. This prevents the computer from shutting down if it demands more power than the A/C adaptor alone can provide.
The link below should answer most, if not all, of your battery/charging questions, including tips for maximizing battery performance. If you haven’t already done so, I highly recommend you take the time to read it.
 
i know its not recommended, i was wanting to see if there was a way to do so anyways.

thanks for your answer.

If someone does know please share.

As I said, there is no way to do it. It's not recommended to run with the battery out. There is no way to do so without throttling.

No.

If the EFI detects the absence of a battery, it will automatically throttle the CPU.

There is no way to modify the EFI.
