Hey Rob,

I know from Eric you guys are insanely busy so take your time if need be, I
wouldn't be getting anything done untill late october anyhow. But.. Given,
new pistons, new cams, Headers(I have the ULEV with dual cats) decked, and
ported heads...how much of a gain could be expected?. I would not assume
more than a 30-40HP gain would be feasable?,,

Cheers
Donald

Personally, I would go with the AEM-EMS fuel system before Hondata. Also, news just came out today that Crower has some rods out for our car starting at 177$per, and around 480$per for titanium.

Hey bro that sounds like a pretty nice setup, but have you considered the turbo that moocow and a few other members have. They're runnning 5 PSI with stock internals, but I've been reading on a few other threads that reenforced rods and possibly cams are in the making for the end of this year. Possibly an aluminum intake manifold? The potential for the D17 is growing.
