Basically advance the timing by around 10 degrees, remove speed limiter, and increase redline to 7800 and change the fuel curves/maps etc. He also said although he hasnt done it yet due to no demand, he could do auto ecu's if need be, as well as just speed limiter reduce and higher redline - no advanced timing mod- for peopel who have turbo kits. He also does 4G63 eprom chips. I have th AF/X ecu in mine so I dont need one.

Now normally , one would be skepitcal (ebay), but I spoke to him once over the phone for about an hour once for a friend of mine.
Very nice guy, and even said to me if I can find someone off the forums that had a realtivly bone stock car, and access to a dyno, he'd do the reflash for free, provided said person posted the before and after dyno results. Otherwise, its $180. Cant beat that imo

Or you can look up "MegaSquirt" on ebay or hit up Mr. Slick on 2gnt that sells them premade for around $350 and under (depending where you get it). It s a custom stand alone ecu , but youre gonna need a labtop, some extra sensors, perhaps a wideband unit with a/f readout, serious tuning skills, and dyno tune it to get any real results.

would I need to replace the lifters and rockers for a redline at 7800 RPM? Also is the advanced timing and what not, safe in the long run for a daily driver? Any other info would be great.
