GCP:

From all the questions you have posted it sounds like you REALLY need to do the following:


1. Come up with a base of what you are starting with.
2. Find a goal to achieve, light to light, 1/4 mile, autocross, etc...
3. Speak to several shops directly (like Secret Services) to get some ideas of how to obtain your goals.
4. Do searches on here and several other sites using the base information provided.

These suggestions will help you understand more about Honda motors and what can / can't be obtained with a Honda motor...

Good luck on your project...

p.s. - closed decks are great for the track, but I would not run one for daily driving... just my opinion...

Stay away from these parts unless you make a living using them...All Pro Drag Cars that I know of use closed deck sleeves and not the latest DART closed deck blocks...

You are much better off buying GSR/b18c1 shortblock, having it resleeved by AEBS and building it for your application...Go with 85mm bore for a small 2.0liter shortblock and use any of the DOHC Vtec Heads...Its nice to see the aftermarket make an effort to produce such remarkable products, but it is not for everyone, especially for what your power goals are...
