I made 164 on a GS-R on Hondata with I/H/E. I'm sure he'll be looking at mid to upper 170's

thats what i used in my ls vtec, no headwork or anything, some skunk 2 s2 cams, stock ls rods and made 178 to the wheels at 7800 rpm, car was fun, especially in vtec....but the car detonated like crazy even after it was tuned with hondata when i was under 4k rpm, shad and i drove around for an hour or so a little while after the dyno session to try and get a little street tuning at lower rpm and we still couldnt get it right, the pistons are so prone to heat so they detonate alot easier then forged shit....

i take mine up to 8500....

we'll see if yours outlasts mine. i would hope so...

thanks for the info though.

i wouldnt push mine past stock rev-limit....
