your absolutely right about me not knowing what im talking about. that is why im asking for tech help on the tech forum. If I knew what i was doing i wouldnt be asking for help. I know how to build a V8 but all this acura shit is a whole new ball game. Like i said before its all ebay turbo shit for now til i can upgrade everything individually since i dont have 1000's to drop on turbo set right now so im slowly buying shit as I go. I did have the manifold rewelded and braced and changed the spring to tial 9lb spring in the wastegate.

So stick with some GSR cams. DO not get the PRo1s. With that setup, they are too big and you will lose power big time. Keep it simple. Don't try to go all out. You have a small setup with a mildly built motor. Keep it simple and tune it.

for pro1's, you need a good flowing manifold and gt35r turbo or bigger.
