Re: 1st gen auto b16 has less power than manual b16?

the automatic B16's only have single valve springs on both intake and exhaust cams, as well as weaker cams. they are made to have a lower rev limit, which was around 7500 if my memory serves me correctly. I had a friend with an automatic b16... he put in a "MUGEN SPOON NO REV LIMIT +20HP CHIP L@@K W@W" and revved it to 10k rpm (dumbass).

he broke one of the weak stock retainers, and dropped a valve into one of the cylinders at 10,000 rpm and completely destroyed the entire engine.
