I'm sorry, let me elaborate a little more... I'd like a quick, all-motor
engine MOST of the time. Something that builds up RPM's fast, with a
reserve of a considerable NOS shot when I need it. And I wouldn't get
much benefit from upgrading the valvetrain if the stock ECU's revlimiter
is going to prevent me from peaking 6.5k RPM's. Otherwise, the stock ECU
is fine. I'd also like the governer defeated, but it's not necessary as
I probably wouldn't be taking advantage of this very much, but I'd like
it anyways.
