As an old school Honda guy I've always lived by the advice that any stock Honda motor under boost will need a thicker hg and arp head studs in order to last a bit longer but seeing how well built these motors are is it really needed for what I want to do. Im putting parts together to supercharge my s with a modest goal of mid 300whp to maybe tickle the 400's

And yes I daily drive her and plan to attend some track events

Any professional or experienced advice is greatly appreciated!

 

read search and re-read

 

My old ap2 was supercharged completely stock motor pushing 406 to the wheels. No problems at all. Sold the car to guy in New York and still running strong. 12.5 psi, Vortech kit.

 

DO NOT use aftermarket head gasket. Its been proven stock head gasket can handle >30 psi and 700whp.. Just need full blow or arp headstuds

 

stock head gasket all day every day

 

^ Exactly.

 

Ive ran both inlinepro and cometic. The cometic one is garbage and blew just letting my car idle. My inlinepro one has held up for 3 years to the tune of 509 to the wheel.
