i say they dump the boosted K23 in there and crank the boost to make around 300hp or so. price it at 37k and call it a day.
they don't even have to crank up the boost. the owners will take care of that .
I like the k23 idea aswell. never know...honda may go that route.

On another note my NA buddies. For those of you who are looking to increase top end performence, then I'd say hold back a little longe on purchasing the header. The best header for top end power would be a true 4-1 design. From the looks of things skunk2 will be coming out with a 4-1 design for the s sometime soon.

I believe they tune the ecu depending on your current mods. So you would give them a list of your mods, and they will program the best tune for them.

2. Ok, they wanna swith motors, fine. But only 250 hp?! whats the point...
3. V6 would ruin it all!
you do know that the K series is based off the F20 and the two are very similar.

hmmm, but the stock header is pretty damn impressive to me. i have been thinking about the skunk2 cams though. supposed 15whp gain.

No i didnt know. But still, i'd like for Honda to just improve on the F22, maybe tune it even better, or perhaps up it to 2.4 and make it 280-300 hp with a good amount of torque.

From what I have heard there isn't an aftermarket cam that makes any significant power gains.
