    Motors are as reliable as you choose to make them. You mentioned swapping pistions in the original post so it wouldn't be a big deal to just go ahead and drop the compression.

    Anyway. If you really are only shooting for 190, I would imagine your not too far away with the parts you already have.

    I would look for a type r intake mani and tb, a pair of crower cams, the rmf rep header and 2.5" exhaust, pistons if you dare(might aswell do the the basics before swapping pistons), and a good tune(obd1).

    If you got the time and tools on hand, it is possible. But yes, it is typically cheaper(time), and easier to just do a skunk2.

    if you really want to save money and alot of work just slap a stage 1 cam or type r and settle for 170s tuned... you will save alot of money and time and machine work and get like 6-7 less hp lol... so it's entirely up to you.

    Now if you want to spend an extra $1000 at least... between machine work... pistons... bearings...headgasket... builder, etc... for 6-7 extra hp that is also up to you...

    it's all in what you want and how much you are willing to spend.

    agree with crankhp over here, N/A are expensive for the little hp gains that you will get, maybe a swap?
