That's my car in the signature; now quit bothering me. Why does my setup concern you so much? Wanna e-race me? I could lie about it, and so can you so what's the point? I'm not an internet racer.

Why would I waste my money on something inferior to what I already have? Why would I try something so ridiculous as 9100rpm on a D16 sohc vtec?

The eBay chip advanced your timing, spit in more fuel, changed VTEC, changed the redline, and badged it Spoon. Just because Spoon may have used this chip on their expensive built motors doesn't mean a sohc vtec will benefit from it. Also, I never said you needed internals to run a chip. The fact is that the factory ecu can handle the extra necksnapping 10hp your bolt-ons will generate. If you had the chip custom for what you ACTUALLY have on your car, then I wouldn't say anything at all.
