until i get owned by an RSX (which i know will happen one day)... K20A = :down:
I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one; everyone talks about the awsome potential of the K series ( and I'm not saying that it doesnt have great potential), but honestly, a drive in my friend's RSX with I/H/E, didnt blow my socks off.....Furthermore, at our local racetrack over here (ATCO), RSXs are constantly getting owned by B series vehicles. I have yet to see a K series beat a B series over there.
Anyway, I guess the best way to find out if the 20 hp claim is true, is to have an RSX owner get an AEM CAI, and dyno it himself ! I really have a hard time believing it though....20 hp for 200 $ is just too good to be true........what bolt on/mod have you guys used for your B series engines, that has added the most HP per $ ? (besides nitrous)
