Default How much horepower should I get?

I have a B18B built for up to 30 PSI of boost, B18C1 tranny, and a Drag 2 kit.

On the street I'm gonna run 7-9 PSI.

On the track I'm gonna run 15-18 PSI.

It's going in a 92-95 Civic H/B.

Jus wondering what horsepower I should be looking at. I'm looking into Dyno shops, but haven't found one to trust yet. Thanks in advance for any help.

why only 7-9psi when you're engine is built for up to 30?? go all out..

kinda OT: but how much did you get the Drag 2 for? How do you like it?

Only thing that can hold 30psi on my car is the tires lol.

Good luck with that, and I would recomend you up the boost a little more, if not you are limiting what your motor can hold. like somebody else said, go all out.

Good luck

I'm limiting the boost right now cause I only have a stock ignition. I'm still saving for a full set of MSD. I got quoted $600 for their top of the line set up...DIS 6.

Can't remember the whole list of mods;
JE Pistons
Crower Rods
Block Guard
Port & Polish
Bored Throttle Body
Bored Intake Manifold

I'll get the whole list tomarrow. The guy was trying to run Electromotive, but gave up and decide to run N/A only w/ a B18C5.

those stock sleeves even with a blockgaurd wont handle 30 psi. **** i would say 22 psi at the most! What fuel system do you have, size of injectors, pump, stand alone. Thats whats going to depend of how good of power you will make or handle .
