I take it you went the NA D route? Every motor I've seen thing on in person has made at least 15whp if it's a turbo motor

no i had a greddy kit on 10psi and it could of made power but i didnt feel any.. it would have been hard to feel 15whp i guess though..
but now im going to have a 450whp d16 by the end of this month.

Re: (mike93eh2)
really? Did you have it tuned or did you just drop the cam in? several people have told me with a similar setup to what you have/had to expect a minimum of 15whp by just dropping it in and even more if tuned all through out the power band. what other mods did you do?

Yeah...thats what I was tryin to get at. Since the cam makes power to ~7800...the springs will allow you to rev that high and get that power.

it is definately worth it, and yes you DON'T need to upgrade the valve springs/retainers with the cam although i suggest it. Furthermore if you plan on revving past 7800rpm then maybe the cam isnt for you thats when it stop making power. I have mine and love it, i do however rev to 9k but for what the cam lacks the turbo easily makes up
