didn't read that any were, I guess I missed it.

as for dsm's. they are just as reliable as oem honda injectors so there is no reason to worry about them, I would trust them over a set of rc's honestly. plus they give you really good mpg because they have a good spray pattern when compared to bigger injectors like rc 750's. only complaint I have about them is they are a little on the noisy side. but for the money you can't beat em.

and that kinda power on 10lbs seems about right. really healthy sohc though. right on.

Yeah, I actually got to hang out with him last night and he was saying that he can't even say the car is on 6psi right now cause it's only boosted 6psi once and been between 8psi and 10psi ever since... He got the DSM's in yesterday and they are pretty loud, but the car seems to handle them pretty well. He was showing me what it had last night and it runs pretty good now.. I got a video camera for Christmas, so i'm going to try and video some of our stuff here and everything, if I can get a cord for the cam then i'll be posting vids of the cars running and everything. I'm going to be boosting an LS/Vtec soon and everything so i'll have that on here too ..

cool, that would be a good turbo to run on the stock motor.

ah thats what, a 14b? not a bad turbo at all for a single cam. will be responsive and most likely make whatever power you'd want to reasonably throw at a stock block. just do a favor and spend the money on tuning. get someone who knows what they are doing and a good system (hondata, neptune, ectune, crome etc)
