to find out year, there is a year stamp on the head just right of above exhaust ports.

to get a little more top end power you can get some head work done and install a stage 1 cam. getting your ecu chipped will be worthless unless you get it tuned and dyno'd. to see when your vtec kicks in you can install a 12v light on the wire that goes to the vtec solnoid. and when it kicks in the light will light up.

you will need to buy an adj cam gear also, to adj the timing.
