milling vs thin headgasket

[Vteckidd]

well you have the 2 highest whp NA cars in GA commenting in this thread.

Me and Chris aka All-Mota

So i would listen to us.

156whp is not bad, to get to 170 with just a compression increase, good luck.

youll have to get at least a point and tune to come close.

The HIGHEST WHP b16 i ever did was 99SIs motor. Stock block, stock head )port), M22X cams, valvetrain, JDM Dc header 4-1, 2.5in exhaust, AEBs intake manifold, Omni Valves.

178whp revving to 9500.

STOCK BLOCK.

His motor was rebuilt by us but back to factory specs.

a 15 year old block, i dont see it happening.

What cams are you running? If its still just the CTR intake, you need to invest in some ITR cams or a CTR Intake cam an tuning.

I still stand by the header choice, just because if you dont have one, you are losiong power.

But if you insist on going with the compression increase, flat faced valves an mill the head .010. Id run a GSR head to, youd get close to 11:1 with that setup.

then tune it

boost it on stock internals and be done with it. the cost will be about the same as all motor and you will make more power. if you shop around and take your time and you will be happier.blow a 1000 on all motor and gain a solid 40hp or blow a 1000 on boost and gain 75 or more(just a guess) boost owns all unless you have a huge bank roll.

from my experience turbo has been the way for me bang for buck on hondas unless you have money to burn. good luck

oh and so you know all motor guys spend around 400-god only knows how much on a header for maybe 15hp with a expensive cam but hey thats your journey.
