Re: help making 215-230 hp

I had a guy with a 93 Accord coupe with intake and exhaust who asked what I had done to my wagon because he couldn't keep up (I was just driving normally and didn't realize he was even there). I was running a turbo block as N/A then, so it's essentially a lower compression N/A with slightly worse cam timing. He looked crestfallen. Even one of those ~2000 Si hatches with an advertised 160 hp could only pull away from the stock N/A engine after 85 and I would kill the thing off the line. These engines are more like pushrod V8s than typical I4s in that they make a good lump of power at the bottom (and die at the top end).
