I *really* need another 1500 rpm in revs, so if anybody happens to know where I can get my grubby little hands on a factory race kit Yoshimura computer (adjustable rev limiter) I would be very grateful..

two things. why not just mill the head and keep the base gasket? i never built a tl engine, but in general i would mill the head, or even get a dif size (thickness) gasket, but never ditch the gasket.

and why are there no pics of this tlr u speak of? it sounds badass, i wana see it
