if his exhaust manifold or intake manifold were too restrictive wouldn't the dyno test show an overall lack in power...especially in higher rpm's. by going with what jason posted...his customer's friend did see an increase in performance...but in the high rpm's...which to me seems like a really aggressive cam that isn't allowing the engine to have an advantage until 7000rpm.

i would guess that with a setup like this...the car would feel like it was bogging down until the engine started turning at 7k.

with my car as it is...no cat...n1...i can definitely feel a lack of torque at 1000rpm to around 3000rpm and i'm convinced its because the entire exhaust is freeflowing and provides less backpressure when compared to a more stock setup...which is what i was running previously and is what i'm comparing it to. now, when i high vtec the engine definitely rev's faster and allows my engine to climb into its powerband much faster.

again, this is the sacrifice that i've made...and the sacrifices everyone else has to make when driving a torqueless honda. in my opinion really aggressive cams just make the lack of torque even more noticeable.

i would just stick with oem honda if the car will be driven daily. mid range power is so much faster on the street.
