If thats the non turbo motor then it isn't worth your time and money to boost it.

i know about the 4g63 and stuff, but it has bad crack walk and the only down fall to the 420a is well its not turbo charged right, but i know what your saying, im still considering scraping the whole thing and getting an acura rsx s and starting over or even a 4x4 and go that route not sure yet

no the downside to the 420a isnt that its not turbocharged, its that the head doesnt flow shit compared to the 4g63. thats why its in dodge neons and other MPG cars. cfm = hp.but crank walk, i mean i believe any engine can get that. thats just a big hype up about them. but i mean...if you wanan turbo somthing for cheap, a D series civic is cheap as shit to turbo. and be pretty damn quick. but to each their own.

love the quote at the end very nice, but very good point you make,
i hopefully have came into this problem the right way about the cfm's
i have a 55mm tb now and have port matched the intake mani, would that do it alot better or is the 4g63 head still that much better, im sure theres a way to break even
