ok i'm sorry...let me re-phraze that.

i have a JDM ITR engine w/ a red valve cover (you know they come stock like that). the cams are covered by the big piece that has the DOHC VTEC/ honda emblem on it. there is a little piece on the driver sides that protects the timing belt/camgears. lots of people like cutting a whole on the side of the valve cover so that cam gears can be easily tuned and for the cosmetic factor of it.
i want to know who knows of a shop that can cut the side of the valve cover for me.

does that satisfy you?

you can do it yourself with a good hand and a dremel.

man that seems like a lot of work though. but that would be the cheapest thing to do.

oh yeah by the way i'm now positive that ecu i got off you has no rev limiter. i accidently took it way too high the other day. my car is fine though, but still i freaked out for like half a second.

i need to get that msd shit w/ the rev control. got one?

just take it to any performance shop, in the nova area, check out places like vertex motorsports, inline pro, CDE motorsports (i think they moved and are now called Ultimate motorsports)...any of those places...i think
