hmmm, seems I took my Accord to about 6 1/2 grand to 7 grand all weekend long on track with no problems, that probably estimates to 500 times in 48 hours

however unless this car is a pure race car there is no reason to remove the speed limiter

i've taken mine to 7500 before (ECU wasn't watching) with a 4-degree advance on my cam gear. but you should be good for about 130 stock. correct me if i'm wrong.

which engine are you speaking about (if any in particular)? or is this statement for all accord engines ..

what about the ones producing between 200hp (F20B) - 220hp (H22A) are these engines also not designed for high rev? ones with the 11.1 compression ratio

need to know cause i am about to take my limiter out .. car reaches there too easily (190kph) in 4th gear at about 7000rpm and it redlines at 7400rpm and cuts out at 7800rpm .. so i have the rest of the 4th and all of the 5th to go

heard about a FEELS vtec controller that takes care of the gear and engine limiters as well as controlling when the vtec engages ..

how do i post pics on the site???
