motor has now ran 1,200 miles w/ no issues... can't wait to get some $ saved up again to start working on the suspension!

Really nice setup man nice numbers too;seeing that its only been street tuned. A tune on the dyno should give you some nice gains. Good luck.

Are you considering changing the header for maybe a Toda replica? Interested to see the numbers post dyno tune. Yeah the port matching should help you out too. Maybe a custom intake setup with a velocity stack?

Yes def down the road later on I'd like to real nice intake v/stack combo and ofc the bigger TB/IM setup...I have thought about a better header, when the time comes if the $ is there I'll pick one up...not sure how much of a gain I would see to justify spending a few hundred on a nice header though...Right now my next immediate focus will be on the suspension..

Yeah thatintake setup would probably be ideal. Check this link Budget Header Showdown - Replica Headers vs. Skunk2 Alpha 1.8L Dyno Test - Honda-Tech
I think you would make increase your peak numbers a bit, but the header would really play a part in midrange power too. Because as we know peak numbers aren't everything. Yeah suspension is key too lol gotta be able to put that power to the ground.
