The bible refers to some of the earlier Chim 400's having a rev limit at 5,600RPM, using the same ECU as fitted to some late V8S's. This ECU has a modified torque curve and delivers most of its torque low down in the rev range.

My Chim has this ECU, and I think I'm pretty happy with this - to me it offers more power at lower revs and therefore less requirement for engine-breaking high revs but...

Am I missing out on anything?
If I wanted to change my car to the 'normal' spec am I just talking a new chip?

Cheers
