Default the zc is good and bad in a way

it just came to me today that the day i chipped my ECU and raised the rev limiter on my zc, the next day the motor was blown. i think the 2nd hit to 8000rpm killed it. it sucks because the motor makes good power up high and you want to keep revving it. id say its the best power for the money. too bad they burn oil and blow up. oh well, i got a real motor now.

it was suprisingly fast until i fried the motor and kept racing it. heres the numbers.
89 Si hatch
dohc zc with dc 4-2-1 header, exhaust and CAI
15.39@99
14.08@104 - with 55hp zex
