Why you prefer NA over Boost...

Whups, sorry man, I read you wrong. LOL...it's all good though, I don't get some NA guys sometimes too. Like, MSD being their first mod on an otherwise stock car.... (dark)
Don't you just have bolt ons?

The all motor honda guys are pretty cool. The sohc guys putting ZC pistons in and running 13:1 comp on stock honda parts. Crazy s***.

Ya, I pretty much just have bolt-ons. RX7 Airflow Meter had to be tuned on the dyno, as well as my initial ignition advance, as I'm running 18 degrees right now. Other than that, it's just my custom exhaust. I'm doing an engine build(balancing, blueprinting of course), and I'll be using 10:1 pistons, milled head and block, as well as 44cc combustion chambers, which should be good for 12:1 CR. I don't want to go higher, since my engine isn't all aluminum.

untuned, yes probably 4%

with dyno tuning and/or the addition of an ecu and it should be more.
Alot of money for such little hp...I guess it's a love...

NA is all about 2hp here, 3hp there. If I were to bump to 12:1 with everything else being equal, I might be making 130whp. Besides, dynamic compression ratio is more important. You want cams to bring you into the 8-9:1 DCR range. There are only a few mods that get your real power after IHE. Compression, headwork and cams. Other than that, it's nickel and diming it....
 
If i get 120whp and 130 trq out of bolt ons ill be happy. I think ill get close with exhaust, header and a few other little things.
 
i'm going to go NA simply cuz i don't need to go turbo-fast in a 4 door sedan.
and i have other things i want for my car, like for it to look nice.

lol i am a little far from stock...you should check out the racing section sometime haha
You didn't answer my question. I didn't imply YOU were stock, I just said I'm almost as fast as a stock MSP......I should probably pay attention in the racing section too, since I do my fair share....(eekdance)
 
yah ive heard the same about discreet all talk and no bawlz =P

you know Im jokin man, most msp owners should use yours as a guidline but wtf, ill own you with my massive 110fwhp =)
 
I beat lots of stupid ricers with my car, and all i have is an intake. It's sad what a mid 16 car and a decent driver can do. Hell, even with my old civic hitting mid 14's, mustangs weren't too much of a challenge.
