Everyone will just tell you to swap an entire K20A2 into your car. Do the head swap and let us know!

a lot of pain misery and money. it's not cheap as you think. a guy did it on crsx but he had some issues he ran into in order to make it work. It's not worht it IMO.

So many people ask about this... is there a link to the thread off of CRSX? (JK maybe we can sticky it so it is not asked anymore JK) I think it would be a great tech so these guys could see what they are getting themselves into! It is not like a LS V-Tec I think it involves a little more work... but who am I?

that's something you're going to have to research.

an A2 can handle 300 hp stock w/o crushing anything.. i had a b18c1 make 297 stock w/o anything going in it. As long as you have the fuel to back it up your good. Just don't think your going to pull 600+ hp like a bunch of people think out of a stock block. not happening.
