why build your engine and settle for something that you could easily and safely make on a stock engine. i would shoot for ~350-375whp if i were you, maybe something like a t3/to4e 60 trim .63 ar, if you don't want the lag of a 60-1.

Yeah goods for dying out at 6500-7000rpms, a straight T3 is too small for a B series VTEC motor due to the high redline.

the peak efficiency of a T3 comes that early in the powerband? what boost would that be generating at 6500-700 rpm?
