Re: making power.. (i need space)
Working on a SOHC w/ an auto tranny, all motor, in a heavy coupe is NOT even close to being a good way to go fast. Please come to your senses and stop wasting money on a project that will never go anywhere.
To get 200whp with what you already have, i think compression would need to be around 15.5:1-16.0:1.. good luck

Re: making power.. (zman300)
No need to flame for an honest question. Anyways, as stated above, its time to start over with a new car, or do an auto to manual conversion. and to hit 200hp you will NEED some sort of forced induction. (nitrous is the cheapest). otherwise i would go turbo. If you want to stay dseries go check out

Re: making power.. (bushfreakz)
200 whp is not very realstic for a street SOHC VTEC build up. however, 200 crank hp (165-170 whp) might be possible with a solid build up. but that won't be cheap. with the mods you described (including your soon to get list), 130 whp +/- 5 whp would be pretty healthy already. be realistic. what is your current whp output?
