Ive been searching this topic, and only find that some people say the stock block can hold 500hp with a headgasket, I find that amazing.


Whats the limits for the stock block, stock headgasket?

 

i have 496whp on a stock motor with 3mm HG. I wouldnt go higher then 500. But 500 is fine. Some people push it harder on race gas also. Im sure other will chime in too.

 

15 psi stock BE. Stock CR.
CTSC...
Honda makes some great Motors for sure...

 

It all seems to be in the tune, as too how much power this motor will take. There will be no definative answer to this, only possibilities.
It's possible 500-700 but how long will it last. The higher the power especially with out a least a head gasket to lower the compression, it's only a matter of when it will blow.

 

Im going stock compression, not sure where im stopping either. Im going to leave it with the tuner and let him decide.

 

How many miles on this setup?

 

Less than 10k

 

I think ~500 has been a good "safe" mark for just a head gasket, it's all in a tune though. Lately many have been crossing that line and been daily driving with little to no problems. I'll be daily driving mine at 450hp once I get it up and running on the stock bottom end.

500 all day
