Nah, the K24A3 gives out 187bhp and like 179 torque thingys..
But on that.. I think the A2 has 200hp.. you think putting an A2 head on it would give me the missing 13?
Anyway, I see that you cant get to that other thread without registering, so here is the jist of it..

Everything that I see about this engine is replacing the heads or bolting on a turbo... I've got a 2005 Accord LX with the MT as a daily driver and I am dying to add some useable and noticeable power in the lower rpms. I know this is a newbie question but we all start someplace!

ECU? I am pretty sure you can use Hondata K-pro, you may just have to change a few things around as far as your harness or your ECU (not sure on that one though)
Do you already have your basic bolt ons?
Intake, exhaust, header?
You probly don't have a header, and that would be a very good place to start. people ahve been making anywhere from 5-20hp with just the addition of a nice header. You will see much better improvement though if you free up all of the airflow and not just one area (intake, header, exhaust).
and of course you can always swap the head but for some reason you sound like you don't want to do that...

K-pro should work with your setup, the only thing K-pro dosen't work with that i've found is the TSX (K24a2) cuz it uses a throttle-by-wire throttle body; not k-pro supported. Like they said a few replies ahead of me....swap the heads, get k-pro or at least a reflash, and go from there with some bolt on's. Be careful when picking up a cam pair for the motor though...the K24 doesn't rev as high as the k20 so you may not see all the gains that a K20 would due to the lower rev limit.

Sorry for long post! :x
