...I thought it was just common knowledge that bar and plate designs were much more efficient than tube and fin

Jo, if you could get me some sort of estimate on some head work, and assembly of my bottom end, that would be hella nice. I may just bring the motor up tehre, have them get the measurements on teh pistons/cylinders, then order the pistons. titanium retainers, and stainless valves may be in order here....

you think my gsr cams will help me or hinder me beyond 400whp? If hinder is the case, what type of cam should I go with?

Bar/plate *flow* a lot better, but efficient? Nope. They don;t have enough internal surface area to be as good a heat exchanger as "the equivalent" tube/fin.

Yup, with ITR/GSR LMAs... otherwise, fear for your B16 LMAs.

Chris, check your PMs!

So apparently, Jeff has enough confidence in aasutocrhome turbos to putone on his customers car, so How about this turbo? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MakeTrack=true

Its either gonna be this or a precision SC34 equivalent.

Every SSAC turbo I've seen was lag-city. Even the T3/T04 knockoffs.

Wes' CRX with the LS/VTEC and T70 is all fun, but he sprays a sixty shot to get it to spool on the street so that slow, stupid ---- doesn't pull him seven cars before he starts pulling on them.

T70 on an H22 will probably work out alright, though. I get to find out as soon as Dave finishes the IC piping for Steve-o's car!
