how do you mean "Not worth" how long do they last in a car or what's there problems? I was thinking stage 3 6 puk because of the abuse I plan to give it or is there a downside to going stage 3? I need to have the car finished by Christmas time and theres a list of more parts so trying to save €€ where I can. I can get the xtd full kit for 200 usd. Willing to stretch out but not much further. If anyone has links to full kit Inc flywheel please post them up.

Now, this list assumes he's driving to the drag strip with some street use, considering this is a bone stock engine. If he's not, please let me know.

What the OP has to remember is that the clutch choice is based upon TORQUE not power, or rpm used. Doesn't matter if it grabs better, because you'll kill the rest of the engine anyway.

Lighten and fully balance the rotating assembly, use a good block girdle, and upgrade the valvesprings/retainers.

There, now you can rev to 9K+. Oh, don't forget to get a tune for your fuel map out to that range. Oh, and also make sure the oil pump won't starve if you rev too high.

Skip any of those steps and you're wasting your time, not making power, and pointlessly abusing an engine. Honestly all of this is STILL pointless if the head hasn't been built to make power that high (cams/intake combo).

Way too many "Honda tuners" out there think it's ok to just blow the rev limiter up to some asinine number and call the engine fast. That's not how it works.
