    Raceworks has a couple Frankensteins (H22 head/H23 block) putting out 250±whp...was running 151 mph down the backstretch at Road Atlanta in the World Challenge Prelude

    wat are u talkin bout??

    h22 are more of a drop in or N/A type deal

    h23 has more capabilities of being boosted due to it having lower CR.

    but either way you HAVE to get a tune

    y put a h22 head on a h23 when you can buy a h23vtec with 220hp stock, with cams and a better intake manifold and a good tune u can see some great numbers
