I think that is a doable goal. My personal goal is 160ish at the wheels. Considering that no one has every N/A mod, no one can say how much power you would have. I would guess with the PB, these pistons, flywheel, and intake/exhaust, etc I think you would be damn close to 150.

our internals are not as weak as you think, we really can boost up to 10psi safely with proper fuel and tuning, and you really have no reason to be worried about the valves and rods unles oyu are pushing way more boost with stock ones but rally your pistons would go first and you would be replacing the valves and rods before that anyways bc they start floating at 12ps but not breaking.

it will be all in the tuning. you'll need a cam and cam gear to get that power. you'll need a vafc2 as well i dought you can use a rrm piggy back. unless they do custom tuning.

a cam and cam gear will help, but we don't know how much these pistons will help, but if you research you can see the raising compression by 1 point is alot of extra power.

not really are cars are 9.2 right now and going to 10.0 will give you 5-8 hp on a stock motor. but if you have a cam you will be able to pull more air. and will help a ton

who says that you will only get 5-8 HP? everyone who knows anything aobut engines and if you do any research it shows that its possible to get alot more than that by raising the compression this much.

also, like I said earlier, even if it is only 5-8 if it is plu 5-8 throughout the powerband, who cares, its better than taking some from the top and giving it to the bottom, etc.

tonloc745 if you read the first and the second page of this thread you'll see that 5-8hp sounds kind of funny.

hahaha that is the most mistaken rumor ever in history of building. i have a sohc honda and it had 130whp with 9.2 to 1 compression and when i built it i went to 12.8 to 1 compression and got 26 hp to the wheels. thats going 3.5 points to get 26hp. with these pistons you are going .8 points so go do your research buddy

OK here's a solution!!!
Let's finally get all the people in and order the pistons.
And then dyno or time slips will show everything.

Like I said before it doesn't make sense to argue right now.
I'll be more than pleased to post dyno sheet after I'll get the pistons installed.

I am not trying to start anything, and first off they are raising it to 10.5 not 10, secondly, our cars have bigger engines than hondas and are built differently. I am not trying to start anything, all I am saying is that if you have found other information, please post it, I would love to read it, but from everything I have found, it shows quite sizeable gains.
