Hondas, most likely have the best flowing cylinder heads available for any 4cyl, period. Thats why you dont see Saturns, Srt-4's, Evo's Sti's, Mr2's etc... make 375rwhp at 8psi of boost. Take your average k20 or b18c with a basic turbo kit and put it against a cavalier with the same setup and see who makes more power.

any motor that is designed for n/a to make 200 hp n/a is going to flow much better than an FI motor designed to make low mod 200s on 10+ pounds of boost. You can bandaid port flow with boost. You are a genius for bringing this to light.
not to mention, 11:1 compression plays a weeee bit of a roll in making yoru claimed 375 rwhp on 8 psi.
I used to see a large trend of honda racers trying to downplay their setup and make them seem more of a force by stating "ONLY 8 PSI" when in fact psi is no measure of what is going on under the hood. you could port the good and run a gt40r and go fast as hell with * psi and a lil juice to spool it.
PS. that quick integrain the vid you posted is a riced out wonder. Did he do that on purpose to hide the fact that it is fast? If so I find that quite comical and aplaud him for his efforts. That is something I would do for ***** and giggles

the L66 v6 is a renamed honda motor that chevy has right to use since they began contracting in 1999
It is the 3.5 you will find in the acura MDX. It is silky smooth. Too bad the transmission is trash if you go too far beyond 300 hp. Otherwise you would have some good fun with that SUV.
