not sae corrected.
sae corrected should be 218-221 whp. I gotta call em on monday to sae correct it.
wow for only a head gasket, intake manifold gasket and exhaust im on the right path.
Which would mean take
205.97 x 1.02062 = 210.22hp and your torque would be about 144.66
edit, the above numbers are wrong. I took the humidity as a % instead of figuring out vapor pressure. His corrected numbers are 205.53 and 138.

SAE Corrections would be 2.062% based on the numbers listed on that graph.
Vladimir what turbo_pwr said sounds like it would be right for your set-up. Good numbers for only a couple mods.

very nice, I believe the up in compression may helped there.
what can i expect with my aem v2?
215?
and v-afc tuned because my year model runs horrible air fuel since its a 2000 honda was conservative?
if i can make 225 whp with
header,exhaust,intake,throttle body,v-afc, and rematching my injectors i'll consider this a sucess. I know 230+ will come once I get EMS.

news2kroller, if I were you I would get some nice tuning software and have a professional tune the car instead of a Rick's header. You have a fair amount done to the car, and even with a stock car there is a lot of midrange power to be had with a good tune.
If you get the car tuned correctly you should only have to have it tuned once, but in reality you will probably have it retuned a few times no matter what setup you go with (esp. as you add more mods).
Ricks is saying that you can open up some top-end gains with their header and a proper tune as well, so having the tuning ability available when you install the header would save you some time, and let you really unleash the full potential of your current & future mods.
Oh one more thing -- Ricks claims a max gain of 6hp at 6k rpm and 3-4 lb/ft of torque; even a good V-AFC tune should get you more than that in the midrange. If you have a T1R 70mm catback, why not go with a header that would flow more on the top end to compliment the exhaust better? Either way, good luck and hopefully soon you'll make the list!
