right now i;m runnin 14.8 with just cp forged 11:1 comp pistons, dc sport 4-1 header, injen shortram, greddy evo, act lightened flywheel and clutch.
i;m gonna try and get mainstream to tune my car after i get it painted... which hopefully will be soon. then i;m gonna start savin up for the build. not sure about p and p yet... don;t know a whole lot about it. how safe it is, or what gains you have.
but as for building it. i'm gonna try and do everything myself.
ive pondered the idea of gettin a cheap HIGH milaged ls engine. and rebuilding it to learn on. but alot of people have told me to just go ahead and jump in it with mine.

thanks for all the info and recomendations, i appreciate it
power is in the head. headwork is a must for the most power. Stock GSR motors can handle 9000rpms. as long as your bearings were sized right youll be fine.
to run mid 13s you need 190-200whp IMO in an integra chassis and slicks

If i were you and you want to stay all motor, look into buying:
Camshafts-ROcket Motorsports M22s or Skunk2 Pro1s
Valvetrain-I only use Rockets MOtorsports
Header-RMF or SMSP

theres 15whp in those mods, if not more with proper tuning.

Boring out the cylinders has really no bearing on Rod strength. I mean if you sleeved it and went to 86mm, then i would say you MIGHT have issues. but i assume you went within service limit and only did a .50mm/.20 thou over.

as long as your rods were sized and you used the correct bearings, then yuoll be fine. rev away
