know what? strive for a cheap honda with the 1.5 in it. they go cheap cuz they are generally the slowest available. throw a d16y8 head, switch out the exhaust springs for another intake set, get some aftermarket rods, ZC dome pistons, and you have 12:1 with a little bit of head shaving. the Y8 head has the best quench pad and makes the most efficient power of all the honda single cams. that and combatted with the 1.5's awesome RTSR you have over 130 WHEEL hp and over 10k rpm goodness.

seriously, the single cam hondas are way underrated for their potential. I know a guy who made a 215whp beast and it kills any swapped motor that wasnt modified, for much cheaper.

I myself dyno'd my d15b7, found in del sol S 93-95 and civic DX 92-95. 84whp stock. a d16a6 cam, header, and cold air intake jumped that up to 97whp. head swap would have gotten me another 10-15 easy no work, and higher compression pistons add even more. all OEM parts, all OEM reliability
