idk..it can be argued forever..and its to hard to prove..to many factors..i just think hp to hp the n/a would win..like i said i raced an evo viii..weighs more..but its almost 300tq and horsepower and beat it..and a civic coupe with 220whp..which is like 35 more then me..and still beat it..

He's been running for 6+months now(10k+ miles). He is also running AEM instead of crome pro. He is running my old One_fab topmount, my old sc6152e, and my old hybrid intercooler. John vega isn't a god, he is very human.

i dont think hes a god ..im just sayin he had a stock gsr on his site at 350whp as well..thats what made me go turbo..but then i decided..to just try to get a built block...it wont be any faster ..but itll last longer..eventually those oem pistons/rods will fail..i just hope when they do they dont take out the block..

The piston's ring lands will crack before it throws a rod. GSR rods are good to well over 350whp if you keep the stock 8200 rev limit.
