Default cx perf. chip?

ive been looking all over, im wondering if they make a chip for the 92-95 cx hatch. or is there anything else that would raise the rev limit, maybe a couple extra hp?

Unless you plan to swap out heads, Dont waste your time with the cx motor.

I've been in a cx with ex tranny, dx exhaust manifold, no cat, and ex intake manifold.
It would have lost(badly) to a stock dx hatch.

The 8 valve head just sucks.
Save the money you would spend on a "chip" and get a 16 valve head.
You can get them for dirt cheap (I actually gave one away last month).

Be aware though, not all cx pistons have 4 valve reliefs, some only have 2, so you will want to pull the head and check for that before you go out and buy a head.

don't put a dx head on a cx block.
waste of time/money
get AT LEAST a vtec head (such as d16z6)
