On another note, I just received the Urge Unicorn header today. I'm dropping it off for ceramic coat tonight. Should be ready end of the week.

No don't ceramic coat. It looks tooo sexy.

You don't wanna know.
The supercharger is a good, cost-effective solution which maintains throttle response. The engine here is a well built NA leveraging some of the top Honda builders (InlinePro and 4Piston). It is also running ITBs and an ECU without ODBII...it is an excellent setup.

The key here is whether there is a competitive autocross, time trial, or racing class involved. Many of those classes have restrictions on intakes (some require the stock manifold and throttle body), compression ratio, valve lift, require stock internal components, etc. But whether this car is for competitive racing or not, it does have the aura of a mini-Ferrari.

I'm guessing, with ITBs, exhaust, and ECU, this engine was in the $20k-$25k range.

Next time I see you I'll add mine up with you. If you have any heart problems I suggest against it.

I assume that the above includes estimates for labor and tuning too right? That's a healthy dose of reality right there.

i would assume its cheaper the second time around tho right? like the cam design is done, wouldn't it be a lot cheaper to make them now that the r&d is completed?

Isn't that the argument for using a professional engine builder who has already produced top engines in the racing class or application you are looking for? It also helps to know which racing class or application the engine is focused on. Continually changing specs can drive up the cost.
