To make 200whp+.... what's required?

[BABY J]

I've got a serious D in the works (N/A) - then I'm stepping away from Hondas for a bit... could quite be the last Honda build ever for me.

Lots of good info in here --- and for you younger guys listen up when the experience starts talking. A lot of us older guys have been where you are trying to get to (MANY times over) - doesn't mean we know it all, but just take notes - and add that w/ your own desires. Build what you want - it may be popular, it may not be - but build it and learn from it -- that's what this scene was built on, trial and error. BIGDARE built a 176hp B16 "accidentally" just bc he wanted to still play w/ B16s even when experienced guys were saying "fuck a B16". That's a kool feat no matter who liked it or not. N/A "small" displacement motors is a test of your heart --- when the rollers disappoint it's much easier to part shit out than to tear it apart and try it again. The guys who have heart re-attack - the guys who don't find their way to other chassis' and other ways to make power. But unless it's a BIG POWER power-adder setup, I think REAL N/A enthusiasts have more heart and dedication than any other formats out there although we are all gluttons for punsihment - LOL.

LOL sooo... cliffs time;

• power-to-weight = HUGE as far as Hondas go
• making big numbers isn't everything
• high-comp is THE way to go
• the k series is not cheap
• H2b = guaranteed over 200whp NA
• the more $$ you spend doesnt mean more power lol
• shorter trannies are bad on the highway but good for being ''faaaast''
  

Am i missing anything? lolol
