So ive done a few new changes to my civic, tell me what you think about it
and if my numbers are realistic.

Mods:
home made short ram intake, heat wraped
DC race header, heat wraped
hondata heat sheld gasket, port mached because it was way off
stock ported TB
stock ported intake runners & port mached TB
intake plentum spacer thingy
magnaflow catback
ES motor mount bushings
skunk2 stage 1 cams (will be instaled friday)

with intake, header & EX i made 158hp and 132trq. Im hoping to get 175 to 180hp with my new set up. And if you didnt know its a stock k20a3.

Im going to the lake of the ozarks this week but when i get back i will let you know how it pulls when i get back.

Sweet. Imo, you should just save your money and get the right k20. Lol

once my truck is up and running im going to find a k24a1 with a fully ported head and stage3 cams and if i can some higher comp pistons, but for now i have to make the best of what i got.

watch out for aftermarket cams, ive been told numerous horror stories about timing chain issues with them. sweet stuff though, kinda makes me jealous

the reason you prob. heard storys about the cams is because the 02-03 si cams were not properly heat treaded and the exhaust cam lobs starts to fall a part from being exposed to more heat. some aftermarket cams are stock regrinds and the end up doing the same thing, im hoping that since skunk2 is a good brand they arent regrinds.
