I'm expecting to get, say, 5,000 - 10,000 hours from it.

What about under high stress race conditions?

Mostly stock but race engine bearings and raised compression by a point. p&p, forced ram air style CAI, header, cat back, real cat tho. 2.5 inch exhaust. 14s? 165ish i dunno i got alot of different tires.

i'm thinking about tuning it to run lean under 3k rpms and then as aggressive as possible around 3,500 plus vtec at 4,500ish. i will probably get a "stage 1 or 2" camshaft after a few thousand miles if everything goes right.

 

I do not think you would run 14's man you will need a lot more than basic bolt-on's and 1 point bump in compression.

 

i have more compression than that, in fact the only thing left is head work and a cam...and i am not making anywhere close to 165 whp...but i have gone several years now commuting in the car and the engine still runs great! with bolt ons, mild compression and tune i would expect more like 120-130 whp at best.

 

Guys I was talking about my wheel and tire combo
