ok.. so here are some Chip online from ebay. here it said to remove rev limiter and stuff like that. and have the GSR to rev up to 10rpm..
so here my question.

IS ANY OF THIS IS REAL? CAN GSR REALLY BE ABLE TO REV THAT HIGH?
Is it possible without risking blowing up the engine>?

Yeah, they work fine. If you are good at soldering, it's easy to install. I didn't notice any power gains when I had one on my LS, but I figured it was worth a shot.

About blowing up your engine...if you don't have a good oil pump, valve springs, retainers, ARP studs, and forged rods there is a good chance that it'll grenade.

Me personally...I would only take a stock GSR to 8300. That is where I rev my stock b16. I have a chipped ecu also.

Hope this helps

More than half of those programs on ebay are garbage and dont work. The spoon chip out there usually throws a solid check engine light. I people asking me all the time about whats wrong with their ecu and/or program they got from ebay. Some times, they say its a "spoon" chip, but really, its just a copy of the mugen program or what not. AND NO, its not safe to rev anywhere past 8500 on a stock valve train. If you want a good program, then let me know...i can help you out

thanks for all ur opinion..
i dont want to send my ECU to aplace to chip my ECU when i dont really know wat i have in the car.. because i bought the car and some mod was in the car already... the previous owner said he invested 15k into the car.. and did claims there is some internal change... And i dont know wat to blieve or he just BSing me..
I know as of right now i have v2 intake, dc header, and AEM cam gear... and I'm thinking getting an exhaust system first before do any chipping.
