Granted, they're excellent bolt ons, but they're still just bolt ons.

If a stock Type-R engine with high quality bolt ons can generate near 200whp, a decently built LS/VTEC with a nice head package and high quality bolt ons can hit a higher number than that.

I'm not just disagreeing with you, for the sake of disagreeing. I just do not agree with what you're saying in the bolded areas.
Where is Dave_B located? I bet its not the hot & humid southeast is it? What fuel was he running too...wasn't pump gas and probably wasn't 100 octane either. I've been around many 200whp engines, from Hondata to MoTec running the SMS header, stock IM, & j's racing intake. I know what's involved to get 200+whp and it won't happen around here with a stock head

Then to get that extra 30whp as mike mentioned...hahaha...good luck.
