Thanks man! And didn't know about that tune. Should I look into a new ecu before getting the tune?

i would get a OBD1 p28 or p72 and a jumper and tune it. I have a p73 ecu but you dont have enough compression to use it correctly. The Type R ecu has vtec engagement at 6000 as thats where the cam makes power, and it revs to 8500. If anything a local tuner should be able to burn a chip based on other customer's cars

Ok ill look into those. Does this mean I have to get new gauge clusters?
Oh and is this the right ecu? http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=280601232388&cmd=VIDESC&title=Description&index=11&nav=SEARCH&nid=09631960836
What's a jumper?

No new cluster
You should get I/H/E for the tune... might as well.
For the header I recommend 4-1 TypeR for the high end power. Our Vtec engines spend most of the time up there. The only time were at low end is on the street or the start of a race lol
Also, get a short ram, not a CAI... CAI is more for low end rather than high end. Short ram is high end power and is a good combo with the 4-1 header.
You will notice considerably more high end power after all of this... wont be bad at all

a jumper alllows you to use a OBD1 ecu with a OBD2 car, you can reuse your cluster. and no external gauges are needed.
the harness should run $75 ish from an online sources
the ecu should cost $100 chipping should be $75 ish and you just need a basemap based on other customer's cars
