i think its 140 with a short ram. and thats not WHP, just crank HP. It pushes the compression from 9.2 to 10.68. So its like a Y8 with 1 point more compression. it would only be a 12 HP difference lol.

Re: which set up would make more hp?

d series are ftw. U only need a b series built for boost to make serious WHP (450+). Because after around 450WHP it becomes hard to make power with a D series.

Re: which set up would make more hp?

yea i just read the whole thing. dont have the resources to do an engine swap. or really the money. im getting all the parts for my mini me for $100 off a d16z6 that threw a rod bearing in my friends car. so the mini me seems worth it for me right now. till i get down to UTI. then maybe i'll go for some sort of swap

Re: which set up would make more hp?

if the engine's are relatively close in power and build, the transmission isn't going to be much of a factor, alot of people will say it is, but if you know how to to drive it, it's fine. i hate to sound like a broken record, but i keep up with my friend's 5 speed ex daily, and he's got about 20 horses on me.
