my best friend said he would sell his Kamikazi 4-1 header for $215 with shipping included...there are no dings, dents, its in really good shape other than its dirty on the inside from it being used....i can clean if it you want..but thats rather pointless..its just gonna get dirty again..so if your interested..email me at Teknoracer4fun@aol-com

Hmm.. I always thought kamakazi headers sucked. Who makes them? Do they still sell them?

Default n2o

i was told last night that i could run a 50 shot fine!???? how is this possible already running 9lbs of boost on a engine that can handle 10. wouldnt i blow it up?

if i were to get a bottle i'd wait to spray until the beginning of 3rd.

this is an everyday driver, i still need reliability. this guy was way off the wall wasnt he?

I wouldn't do a 50 shot along with 9psi of boost...that's basically asking for trouble IMHO.

Default shot

see i would have been surprised if it could handle a 35 shot, let alone 50. if i can get a 35 shot through there safely then i'll do it. but it needs to be reliable still and i dont see how that could be.

Well yes you can as long as you dont go lean. Now if the actuall engine will hold up thats a diffrent story. You are asking for a little to much in my opinion, you would need forged internals, good valve train components, and a good crank. Then you will have to see if the tranny will take it LOL.

No one replaces Honda cranks, period. Unless you are stroking the motor, stock crank is the way to go.
