You don't buy a whole kit of balanced parts, you have your existing stuff balanced by a machine shop.
Is it still a good idea to balance it up to 10xxx even if I redline @ 6800? And who makes a camshaft that is agresive enough to get me to 8k maybe, and still be streetable... I dont know how high I could go and still be streetable. :dunno: What are your oppinions? I want to make some REAL WHP in a NON VTEC SOHC, NON FI... That is my goal. 225-250 WHP and still streetable (without drawing to much police attention) Is what Im lookin for
Ya know enough to give the ol B16A with basic bolt ons a bad day... Im sure 11:1 comp pistons are in oreder allong with a MSD system and NOS... But what am I REALY lookin @ WHP wise?
You build a baddass D16A6 in your head thats N/A and tell me what kind of whp you see there...
