Boss Heads Vs. GT Heads

I loved building the Na hondas as funny as that sounds. To build a fast NA car you really have to know your shit and that particular car to get every ounce of pony!

Its all good. Everyone has their things they are into. If that is the challenge you want to give yourself, I say go for it.

Im in no way denying that a supercharger and or juice is a easy way to get alot of power. NA is very expensive once you ad it all up but cheaper if you think of it as part by part. Alot of people have a hard time spending 5k plus on a supercharger. Even if I had it I would feel somewhat guilty buying it because thats alot of cash that could be used for something else.

Looks like building a stout NA application would cost more and definitely yield less power, as to be expected. Just funny people think they can slap on a blower, run 8lbs of boost all day and night on a stock bottom end and expect it to be as reliable and cheap as doing the same thing with an strong NA build.

These motors are pretty new. So I don't trust anyone that says, yes you can add 50% horsepower on a stock bottom and and race it all day and expect the stock pistons and rods to be just fine. That's just dumb. Once I see people doing that upwards of 60k plus miles on a blower setup with stock internals, I'll consider it. Until then, it's just a dumb assumption.

I'm pretty sure that anyone here that is looking to make good power isn't planning on the stock motor to get them there in the long run. It's pretty much a given at that power level that a motor build is in the plan at some point which is why you see so many people buying blowers that are bigger than the stock motor can handle, but being able to crank up later on a built one. Room to grow so to speak.
