haha, well then i could achieve that all motor, 0 psi would be atmospheric pressure .. I know what you are sayin though..

There is no way in hell my stock block could hold 16 psi, well not for long atleast.. there have been a few ppl runnin 450ish whp on stock block h22's, but thats with spot on tunes.. doubt it would last too..

I kinda like higher compression + boost though, If I were to rebuild, I would probably go for even higher compression, maybe low 10's, and boost.. just nice for the street imo..

Thats why I love s2000's.. there are a few around runnin close to 700 whp on the stock block, at around 20 psi

about the drag car, if you were to pull off 300 whp that would be CRAZY! Would you go for a K24 setup or try it on the b20?

seems like you guys hook up damn well off the line, get boost, and as you know you can say goodbye to that! lol..

I would like to stay with the B20 but who knows once again husband talking K motors. Hell maybe I wont have to worry about it and someone will just hand me a car.!? I don't really hook well at NB- 60fts. are usually crappy compared to bigger tracks.....as far as the boost thing I wouldn't know I know that the turbo cars I watch at NOPI usually have around a 1.5 to 1.3 60ft.

I distinctly remember everybody ignored you because you were licking ice cream and talking about your FD, but no one paid attention and I laughed b/c you said your mom would not let you bring your FD out LOL


Haha, damn are you wrong. I didn't say anything about my mom not letting me bring it out, since my engine was blown. Damn do you look stupid now. And I was almost 18. I couldn't have the car out, it didn't work.

To whoever keyed it that night at NB from front fender to taillight...thanks again pussy... since I had never:

A: raced anyone.
B: talked shit about it.
C: ever been cocky with it.


I did find much humor in the fact that people got jealous over it...

You act like I keyed it? I love FD's, since I have had one for a 1 and a half years now. I was just asking you questions, and you acted like you where better than me because of you car, or that I was just some kid that didn't know anything. Well you are dead wrong, since I have an FD, and why would I be jealous since I have one with more stuff than yours? The only thing I would be jealous of was your tranny since I want a 5-speed!

No one had a reason to.. They just did.

I mean you came looking for me on the RX7club, like you wanted to do something to me. I never said shit, to you, except that you acted like a prick by the way at NB. But maybe next time we meet it will be different and we will get along fine. I never started anything and never keyed your damn car that night. If you want to think so then fine, but I would never do something like that.

^^^^^I don't care about people making fun of my car, I have got used to that by now. But saying shit about someone you don't even know is just gay. I have no idea what these dudes even look like, I met the one dude and talked to him for 30 seconds. I have no idea who they even really are.
