bad question to ask on honda racing...i mean tampa racing. The probe GT will be faster stock. And there is a good after market for it....BUT the honda does have a better after market and is easier to make it fast. That being said, if you want to be like 90% of tr get a honda. If you wana try something different get the probe.

Exactly.
You can get a good KL-ZE on ebay for under 1k, quality boost it for under 2k, and @ under 10psi be at 300whp.
...and sound fucking great.

i like the probes, but i just couldn't personally deal with the name being probe. I would get a honda b/c its prob going to last longer if you plan to abuse it. You must be "gentle" with probes of all kinds
