well what are your plans???

 

I highly recommend blacktrax. My brother had his springs installed by them in may and they did an excellent job. You can goto bayareaprelude.com and talk to the guys and gals there, alot of the luders there take thier cars to black trax. Good luck!

 

thanks for the information. i'll check it out.

 

So what are your plans for the car??

 

check out redzone. not to hint at anything, but ive seen cars that have had work done on them at redzone... post-blacktrax. and from personal experience, they do great work. they did a very clean swap for me, engine and 5spd comversion.

they have a site, http://www.redzoneperformance.com/index.htm, its new still but you can at least get their contact info from it.

 

I had blacktrax do my 5spd conversion. They did a excellent job. They have a lot of experience with preludes. Highly recommended

 

i definitely want to go FI but after hearing about luders' experiences with internals, i will probably want to get sleeved with new rods and pistons along with some header work.

i'm not completely sold on major header porting as i know that honda header design is pretty decent to begin with.

i'd be happy with 6-7 psi but with a strong bottom end, do you think i can get 15?

 

nice. thanks for the information.

 

yeah BLACKTRAX is a good place. I have meet with jei from BLACKTRAX at a bayareaprelude meet and he is a great guy, to bad im in la now i can't get anything done by him, tear.

 

your gonna have to send your motor out to get sleeved. Also i'd also rather buy pitons and rods from some of the sponsors here. They tend to be alot cheaper.

 

do you have any recommendations for where i can by rods/pistons?

 

I would recommend Redstar Racing in Hayward Tito does excellent work

Well importpalace.com has JE pistons with rings for 509 shipped, not sure which of the sponsors is having a deal on crower rods though.
