A company called "Insane Speed" is making some billet housing for EVO's. Not sure if they are involved in the Honda world or not, but you could check them out.

Good Luck.

You don't need a billet case. Roger has gone 9.30's on a stock case, the gear sets are the weak link. Keep in mind you'll lose 5th if you go to PPG gears. Not sure what the availability of the gear set is at the moment either.

There is no need for a Billet house, especially since its already aluminum cast. There are guys running 700whp, its your gears set that will go first.

The reason the don't offer "what you need" is that you don't need it! As people have stated already, the cases hold up just fine to guys running 7-800+ and low 9 sec 1/4 miles in heavy Prelude and Accord chassis. The gears and synchros let go, so those need to be upgraded, but used in stock housings.
