Default what do you think of my setup?

I have a lsvtec that is almost complete:

b18a w/ spoon sports ITR pistons and eagle rods.
gsr head P+P with skunk2 dual valve springs and titanium retainers.
skunk2 intake manifold
crower stage 3 cams with crower cam gears.
peak and hold prelude injectors with arospeed fpr + guage
arp head studs and rod bolts.
gsr water pump and oil pump.
bottom end completely balanced and crank micro polished with block line bored to free up some power.

I am trying out a limited slip locker twin track from azracemachine.com on a ys1 tranny
http://66.70.247.211/TwinTracDesc.htm

this set up is going into a 89civic si.

All advice and criticism is welcome but be gentle because this project is killing my wallet but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I will probably have it tuned with a vafc but like I said, tell me what you think. I still have some time to make some changes to the head because the machine shop is working on the bottom end right now.

thanks,
john d

thanks, I am hoping to get some good times with it and I am hoping that the twin track holds up in the tranny. Ive heard really good things about them so Im going to give it a shot.

I would also use a Hondata or some other stand alone engine management instead of just a V-Afc, but that is just my opinion.

imo, i would bore the b16 to 1.8L and work with the b16 head and block. i like the b16 better, but maybe i'm just biased towards b16's :dunno:

I believe the deck hights are differetn between the two but I could be wrong. I like torque so That is why I am going with the 1.8 motor. its got more stroke than a b16. I could of got some sort of stroker kit for a b16 but it would cost just ass much if not more and I wouldnt really see the point in that.
