None of us sleeved motors, because they are all daily driven street cars and we didn't see the need to make any more power. We wanted low 11, high 10 second cars so that is the power we aimed for. IMO, you don't need to sleeve a motor until you make over 500 hp, but that's my personal opinion.

As far as track times, my car made 334 whp @ 12 psi and it ran 11.88 (full interior ek coupe), so I know it doesn't take an insane amount of power to run 11's. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten to make any passes at 18 psi (420 whp)
420 is my favorite number and let me know when you are going to the track. I always love to see a fast honda.

Yeah, the 420 was my car (419.7 to be exact)......I'll see if I can get someone from home to find the dyno and scan it for me.

I'm just here for the summer so I didn't bring the slicks with me and I'm kind of scared of breaking my car here since I have no shop to work on it, so I'm probably not going to the track while I'm here, but I'll post some vids sometime this fall.
