The companies I list above will give him the support and know how for what he needs. A top-mount is over kill for his power goals. I also don't see an obx lasting as long as a SLS or even a inline pro ss. Which I run a sls prototype and I bought it used and its still in perfect working order........
-i don t dout that sls or inline pro will last longer
what im saying is obx is not that bad...

-i know if it take you a year to save that 1200+ to get a turbo mani then i would just buy a obx one and have it retig its proven to be relible after that.........

i rather race then sit on the side line for a year cheerleading.........lol.....

^^^Or you can race one night with shitty components, blow the 30r apart, and go home and cry for a year.

Make your choice.

I would rather wait for 2 years and do it right, than to scrap it up half assed from the beginning and have everything go to **** after some time.

But hey, thats just me

I never once said in my post that it will blow the motor. On the other hand, i stated the manifold or turbo will take a crap on you in due time. Manifold has nothing to do with the motor.

OBX is crap, no matter what way you look at it. There is a reason why people, who have had reliable builds for years use the known stuff, like Full Race, SLS, Inline Pro. Its proven. Period.

NO!!! I didn't wait for my manifold! I bought everything once I knew what I wanted to do with my motor. Plus for the price of an obx top-mount and re-welding the manifold you are more then on your way to an inline pro ss. Also Im not saying obx isn't good, but for me and my setup and what I do with my car it's not going to work. Plus SLS Make's some badass stuff for the money....your not going to get a better product.

No you can't go wrong with there product's.....plus it's not out of the price rang of a normal Honda lover. Once again not saying there stuff is cheap but most people who by full-race or AFI are looking for stupid high HP #'s......
