I was just wondering if they sold an fcd for a non turbo? I don't think I have ever seen one. Thanks

umm, i don't think that is possible, since the fcd is to prevent fuel cut from overboost, being as how an N/A has no boost, it wouldn't have this problem

some n/a's don't have a rev limiter. i know you can remove it manually. if you do that you can put a MSD 6AL and use that for a rev limiter

Yea, I was just talking about bypassing the rev limiter. I haven't even revved mine much over 6500, so I don't know if it will cut out yet. I would like to achieve 9 grand at the most, as long as the engine is still providing lots of power up there.

it's pointless to make your engine rev higher up if you're not getting enough air. Focus on getting air down below. Definitely get some sort of ignition amplifier, and try to use that for a rev limiter. It's really not recommedend to go beyond 8k for long periods of time, if you don't have your stuff balanced.

Im glad you brought this up. I believe we have close to the same set-up, however with the NOS set-up on my car, ill certainly need to look into this topic further.
