Which would be 18-21 more ft/lb than my b16. A pretty significant amount considering it's not a big stroke motor and it's a Honda. lol. If you weren't asking me, well then, go fuck yourself. lol. j/k. I think this shit has turned into a situation of neither wanting to back down. I do feel that 1Civic instigated this shit though. Backhanded comments and being a smartass are not made up for by saying, "not trying to be an ass, or just wanting to know so chill." In fact I would say by saying things like that it is more of a compounding problem since you are saying, I can be an asshole, tell you I'm not, and it should be OK. 1Civic brought up a Type R head and it's flow characteristics in a thread about me spinning a bearing, / Obviously 1Civic was looking to start shit with Mike. Bottom line is, Mike knows his stuff but what makes it better is that if he is unsure on something he goes to an industry leader such as, Rocket of RM, David Hsu owner of Skunk2, Don Flores of DFE. The information he has and applies to a build is tested, proven, and known to work and work properly. I am as skeptical as they come and when I first met Mike I looked into everything he said, didn't accept it as a fact because he's the great VTECKIDD but accepted it when I verified it myself. 1Civic if you're trying to discredit Mike, you're barking up the wrong tree. Mike's not going to kiss your ass because you're a customer but he will treat you with respect, be HONEST with you, and tell it like it is. One of the most impressive things to me was the fact that he didn't try to sell me things to make more money. If he could save me money and have a part that was just as reliable or made just as much power then that's what he reccomended. If I would have just gone about ordering my own parts and accumulating stuff it would have cost me twice what I spent with him guiding the build. I'm a loyal Mainstream Performance customer and consider Mike to be a good friend at this juncture in our relationship and anyone who wants to know anything about it can ask me. I'll tell you. Good luck as I said before to anyone who wants to build motors, do it themselves, take stuff to other shops, but when it comes to my money and my car I am going to be going to MSP and Vteckidd. :climbs down off soapbox: lol.

Feels like the first build all over again.
In due time. I just want to be riding again ASAP, I bought a bunch of shit for autox after my first event and broke a couple days before the second event. So I have been anxious to get back out to dodge some cones.
