Damn this thread got jacked all to shit. I think everybody missed the boat on the comments Mike made. He didn't say that the high horsepower numbers are unattainable on a stock GSR or B16, because we've all seen the posts on Honda Tech and what ISP has done. No one is putting into doubt that Ed at balanced is a good tuner, but you better not be in a hurry and be willing to wait a few months to get in to see him. From Mike's perspective dealing with someone like the fellow who started this thread, when the average person that wants to daily drive a boosted Honda they do not need to be making 300+ whp. It's irrelevant what someone maxed out a GSR or B16 at. The thread originator was asking about a safe, reliable daily driver setup. If he wants to have a higher boost map for track days when he is going to be running race gas then I'm sure Scotty would be glad to make him a race gas tune. But for regular everyday driving, a safe tune at 250-270whp on a stock GSR is the most the average person needs. Everybody has seen the dumbass people that blame a shop because they fucked up their car after a big build. It's not the shops fault, as Danny has said repeatedly, reliability is not the name of the game when it comes to turbo or any other high performance. Just like my motor, I ran the shit out of it taking a stock b16 bottom end (arp rod bolts) with upgraded valvetrain and cams to 9500 everyday and I have a 110 mile commute. When it broke, I called Mike to build me another motor, not bitch because my motor locked up. Most people do not see it that way, they want something that is going to last indefinately and it's not realistic.
