Default possible ECU swap

As the sig says i have a 1997 civic with a jdm b18c engine and jdm type r ecu. Problem with that ecu is that it has a speedlimiter at 200KPH which i would like to remove

a budy of mine says that he has an sir ECU that is unlocked for the speed but has an 8200rpm rev limiter. since i never go anywhere near 8000rpm before shifting i don't think that would be problem. what wories me is that the vtec is set to kick in at 4800rpm instead of 6200rpm like mine.

I'm wondering if that would be a good thing to have or bad given that i have the type r tranny which turns at ~3500rpm at 60 miles/hour.

any opinions on this would be apreciated because i don't want to blow my engine either :a:
