One of the most effective ways to get a significant boost in power with an eta engine is to put a JimC chip in. Since I planned to do this, should I buy an eta, I have a question.
I plan to install dual valve springs in the head (already have them), and once again use an i intake manifold and throttle body, as well as port-match the intake openings of the eta head to match those of the i intake manifold, as well as a few other undecided mods to the motor itself.
My question is this. Since the chip essentially delivers more fuel and a higher redline, would it still be possible to use the standard JimC eta chip with such a modified top end? The dual valve springs as well as the increased air flow from the i intake parts will create a decent hp gain, so would the chip just increase the effectiveness of these mods even more?
(PS: I hate that I have to do this, but can everyone please refrain from the usual "why modify an eta, why do you want an eta" comments and flaming. I started this thread strictly for info, and am well aware of the community's general idea of etas.)
