I'm just checking out how much it would take to upgrade the cams, cam gears, and valve train.. does anyone know what it would take to tune this? could someone burn a chip for my ecu or would I have to go to a standalone unit like the AEM EMS? also do the stand alone units just bypass the ecu or replace it all together?

i spent about $2000 in parts building my head (cams, valve springs, titanium retainers, cam gears, stupid little 7 degree valve locks to fit into the retainers). But i only paid $950 for my cams, valve springs and retainers brand new. I would also recommend getting some headwork done while the engine's apart, port and polish, valve job, maybe mill it a bit to get the CR up if your running more aggressive cams.
Any competent speed shop with a dyno/wideband o2 and uberdata/crome/hondata could burn a custom chip for your application. This is a great method of engine management and a lot more cost efficient.
