runs like a rocket huh? if you think 15 sec 1/4 miles is "rocket" category thats cool.
to op: i had a b16a and then ditched that for h22a and will never look back!
torque FTW

h22a is great, but i do alot of mountain run, and I heard h22a is a little bit heavier than b series, would it affect handling? handling is extreme important for me too, i dont want to roll of the mountain lol

if you do a little research here on ht you will find post of people dispelling that myth. and if your really worried about it get a lil stiffer springs in the front.
the only problem it has cause for me in the turns on my 16's is spinning the tires like crazy if im in 2nd, 3rd i get traction for the most part.

the gsr and h22a are pretty similar in cost. the H being a lil more powerfull, also takes a little more work. To me the work is worth it, and most people blow that work out of proportion cause it isnt hard at all.
