read what i said again

"for example: a kit for a GS-R, that has the good 1st stage mods (header, exhaust, CAI~160-165 whp), says it will make about 240-245 whp...."

a kit for a GS-R made 240-245 whp, it already had a h/i/e which gives a GS-R around 160-165 whp, k??

what i'm wonder is this... a kit made for an Si w/ a h/i/e plus the kit made about 270-275 whp

now i put that on a CTR motor, add a thicker head gasket so i don't have to turn down the boost, would i gain more than the 130 whp that the kit gave or would i only gain the same, but make more whp 'cuz of the CTR already having 25 hp more at the flywheel??

i only ask 'bout the head gasket for the stock boost for the kit, because it's set up for a .4 lower compression (Si motor), i don't plan on messing w/ the boost for awhile, w/ around 270+ whp and the set up i have already i don't need anymore for road racing

later,

Jay
