I think I have a 7000 chip in the MSD -- but it might be less -- and I've NEVER hit the limiter. The Lotus I hit all the time - because I can't hear it with my new helmet (has communications built in and the ears are quiet as hell).

I think that motor - with it's titanium valve train - and built by a top notch builder -- should run for 4 years of track days doing nothing but adjusting the solid lifters.... So either I'm doing something to it - damned if I know what - or there's some geometry issue that isn't being caught. Thus a fresh set of eyeballs will be in order. Unless I broke it real good.... and in that case a new motor will fit the bill --- or be on my bill! LOL
