Find a shop that you can have work done. Your going to need it at one point and time. And yes they are probally going to rip you so just be prepared. Otherwise your options, are to become a highly skill mechanic in order to cope with your paranoia.

H22a redline is 7500.

Make sure you have your vehicle speed sensor in your transmission. With it disconnected your motor doesnt know what to do and cuts the rev limit and power way down.

Ya redline seems fine even a little high w/out the vtec but probably cause its chipped.

yes, i know when i put in anything less than 91 my car doesn't like me. it cuts the redline, and prohibits vtec. try putting some premium in there.
