It's possible

I talked to a heavy hitter (I'll leave his name out) on the board about an old b16 build (stock bottom end) he did in the past. He was able to get 175hp (but less than 120lbs tq) out of his b16 with less mods than me (but a slightly bigger cam). So power is possible with the right tuner


Also, Guy made 148hp with just a header and exhaust. So it's about quality too
