well its not exactly the wrong forum bc im lookin for one of these motors also , i seen video of him hitting 9800-10,000 and yes its low compression pistons, i dnt kno why its able to hit that hit, but it does, n he is runnin low 13's...lol.....id rather have that motor or an h22 but i got that damn k20a b4 i knew how much it would cost to put it in....and its not worth it at all, not when i can do an h22 with a cai and cams and get so much more power....but id love to steal a new civic and take the R18a1 out of it
