All the better right? LOL, yes I was thinking about turbo dodge 16V heads, my bad. I favor torque and thats why I went turbo dodge. I may only have 270 WHP but 350 ft/lbs is NICE! A honda engine very rarely puts out more torque that HP. My car runs high 12's on slicks, how many 270 WHP hondas can say that or better? Not many unless it's a stripped down civic that weighs less than 2000 lbs. My car tips the scales as a heavyweight at 3100 w/driver.
Honda heads flow even more plus they don't have as much displacement running through them which is even better. So thats more like 400-450 WHP at 22 PSI, and thats about insane for a street car. Ported head, turbo cams, 3'' exhaust and your looking at 500 WHP. LS1's for breakfast, SVT's for lunch, and ZO6's for supper.
