PNP cost
Hey guys how much does it normally cost to do a PNP on a VTEC head? I'm gonna start going around to some shops when i get home and I dont want to get ripped off So what is a good normal price for a PNP. Also how much does it cost to regrind the CAM. I'm jsut trying to get a little more power out of our weak engine. thanx for the help guys.

Rep Power: 0 It runs really good....You just need to make sure that you have it done by someone that really knows what they are doing and that they don't make the ports too big...If not, your car will run like crap...There are some people here that had it done by DH racing and they have had problems with the car running kinda funny and even a loss of power. I dyno'd @ 138whp with my VAFC 2 tuned...Over all, I say save your money though...If you want to make it fast, just save up for a turbo..Hope this helps!!
I like you! do you like me?

Rep Power: 0 Yeah, it's ok, but once you get used to it, it's really not worth the time and money IMO....Infact, I'm thinking of trading in my car for something that is fast...I have spent tons of money on the civic, which was really fun, but I'm ready to move on the bigger and better things

Heh yeah civics are slow without turbo. Although you're prolly the fastest na civic around. I got mine done from DH-racing for $540. But, you also need to factor in other costs like install, bolts, gaskets, fluids, etc. Not much gains.

Rep Power: 0 Nice to see a dyno number. I think you are the first to post a dyno number (I dont care if there is a sheet or not) for a PnP. I havent been able to find any, thanks.

Rep Power: 0 Can Gears dont do much for us unless you are FI though, I thought? Am I wrong here? isnt is bad to really retard or advance stock with how good our cars are tuned?
