about concepts civic?

I was just on streettuners.com, and they showed a civic that was modified by a company called concept. The company claims to have gotten 170 horsepower out of our d17a2. I want to know how they got 170 out our engine because i sure wouldn't mind having 170 all motor. if anyone has any info please hook it up. thanks

I ahte when folks still use the term port and polish..there's no actual polishing done.. a polished head actually restrics air flow more than one that is simple left with it's little grooves after maching..

All they do is make the holes bigger and in some cases alter it's shape for better air flow..

Cheers

Grey has a spectacular aura aboutGrey has a spectacular aura about
What is a 3 angel valve job? Their camshaft package is also just a re-grind of the stock camshaft, right?
