Re: get more rpms (mugen*ek9)
do what they do in that one nascar commercial. you have to cut your floorboard so you can push your pedal down further. no but really. you could get a chipped ecu and raise the rev limiter but imo it wont do any good if you go too high

Re: get more rpms (tallyturbo)
Let me give you a little lesson in USEFUL power and torque. (torque being one of the most elusive things to Honda's)
Revving the **** out of your engine does not mean you're going to make a butt load more power. Engines do have a certain point where they stop making power. So if you rev your engine to 9500 RPM, but your engine only makes power to 8000, you are essentially slowing yourself down.
What I suggest you do is, instead of trying to float a valve or spin a bearing, build the engine. IE, put on a header, exhaust, intake. If you have those already, get a set of cams, cam gears, a new intake manifold, bigger throttle body.
Hell it would be even better to build the internals of the engine. Pistons, rods, vavles, valve springs. There is so much more you could do besides putting in a chip just so you can rev to all hell and run the engine pig rich.
You have a great base to start with, now make some REAL power with it.
