At 15% drivetrain loss, that's roughly 383.5 hp at the crank. So you were making that with 140 cu in? 2.73 hp/cu in. I seriously doubt that kind of VE was achieved. Even in Japan. Never the less, I would like to see video of that, it's extremely impressive for a single cam motor.

Not ALL Hondas...

BTW, my Honda buddies call BS on 324whp F22b. Got prove? Most they've heard of is in the low 200whp range, all motor. Except for the one Bisimoto done.

K20 is a decent series, it's also the series the new Si's have. Decent performance for a I4 Honda, same power as a N/A 3800.
