Only problem with the stock motor making bigger power is the bottom end. I know people are going to say they've done it, but some have had problems, including myself. After only one summer, and making 170whp, i threw a rod. Those B16A6 engines are old now, personally, i would go with a very inexpensive B swap like a B18A which is also older, but "much" stronger, and can handle and make way more power.
