thats the same thing a guy with a worked mustang could say to you.. "why waste your time with a honda.. you could go much faster in a mustang for less money"
my take on the whole thing..... i have a y8 which is an equally crappy motor just has vtec... and i have had a 60 shot on it for almost 2 years now with NO problem... so im pretty sure you could get 200 hp out of a y7 utilizing nitrous.. my friend jared (some of you may remember him his name was builthatch) had a built y7 with nitrous and was running a pretty big shot... my assumption is you have about a 100 hp stock at the motor.... between building it bolt ons and a large wet shot you could probably eaily see 200 hp at the motor.. and i always figure on about %15 loss to the wheelsso youd need like 230ish at the motor.. would it be easy OR cost effective.. no probably not.. but i think you COULD do it.. and once built it would IMHO not be that much more unreliable than any other built honda motor
