newbie ignorance and laziness to search will not find you very popular on honda-tech...

I've done it. My advice, don't rev it too high.

Satan, when you say "don't rev it too high", do you think the stock H23 redline would still be safe? Or, even the stock H22 redline? I wouldn't want to go revving to 8900 or anything, or I'd buy an ITR.

Yeah that would be tight yo! You should run the S2000 trans and convert to RWD to put all that extra power to the ground. I think you could run 10's on that setup. And your sleeves will be fine cause you will be using stock pistons, right?

I can't make any recommendations....but stock rev limits are your friend...

Hey man, I'm a noob and I'm telling you to search. This topic has so many posts on it, trust me. In the same amount of time it has taken you to post this thread, wait for responses and then ask other questions, you could have done a search, printed the 50+ posts on this subject and made your own novel based on the information. I'm not trying to be a ******** but really, there is a lot of info out there from different points of view that would help you if you just SEARCHED.
