Rev limit is 8,600rpm. I don't have the timing. The timing was set by the Factory Race Team. Our kit was a joint effort. We took one of their "race" kits and built a version of it for the public.

Engine timing was not changed. Only the ECU programming was changed; which is done in Japan when the ECU's are programmed and then locked.

The ECU timing, fuel map, rev limit, etc are completely different from stock. The engine itself is the same as stock. Even the cams are stock and they are not rekeyed (or indexed).

yep i was the first to
i think clint decomped his at first and also ran bigger pullies and slowley crept up on it.
after all his testing i was able to just chuck pump gas straight in it and its all good.
motor comes out next week to go on dyno
but will be stripped for a quick inspection.
