Icon7 LS B18b power plant

i want to swap in an LS motor in my del sol.....no b16 or ger mototr just a b18b.
now is there any way i can get like 170 whp on a b18b without building the block or port and polishing the head??
if i put like a stage 1 cam and intake manifold and throttle body inatke headers exhaust cam gear fuel regulator maybe like a hondata s100 chip and wideband O2 and flywheel.
think i could push the numbers down to the wheels with a good tune?

No.Sorry. 170 can be done,but it sounds like it will require more work than you care to invest.You would need at LEAST a set of p30's to raise compression,possibly headwork,REALLY good bolt ons,cams,management,and so on.....

I would say it's shooting in the dark asking "could I get XXXhp from XXXparts"

I don't think one could really say with certainty either way...

I'd say maybe, but doubtful

If you had your own dyno and could spend hours playing around with tuning maybe, but if you're paying some dude 200/hr to use his dyno I'm not sure it would be worth it.
